Suicide is unfortunately much too common in our society and almost everybody will go through their lifetime knowing someone that has, or has tried to, take their own life. When looking for answers, grieving loved ones all too often point the finger at music and musicians, because of the great role that music plays in everybody’s life.Avenged Sevenfold were recently blamed for the suicide of a 16 year old boy from the UK, and they wanted to address the issue.
