The Ghost Inside Drummer Reveals He Lost His Leg In Bus Crash

"I don't care what anyone says. It's a long road ahead, but I WILL play drums again."

LA metalcore band The Ghost Inside finally seem ready to speak out on their November horror bus crash, with frontman Jonathan Vigil yesterday taking to Instagram to reveal the injuries he sustained.

Today, drummer Andrew Tkaczyk has done the same, having offered no update on his injuries since we reported that he was in ICU and airlifted to hospital from the scene of the crash.

He details that "the rumors are true" and that he did lose a leg in the accident, along with "fractures in my ribs, spine, and hip along with some ligament tears in my rotator cuff and Labrum".

Tkaczyk writes that he's been in "positive and good spirits" since he awoke from his 10-day coma, no doubt due to his support network of friends, family and well-wishing fans.

"I have remained in positive and good spirits since I woke up from a 10 day coma in November to the sight of my missing leg. Not going to let it stop me. I don't care what anyone says. It's a long road ahead, but I WILL play drums again. Can't wait to get back on the kit."
