Get Better Soon Alex!

[Drew Beringer]

The Receiving End Of Sirens (http://www.thereceivingendofsirens.com) vocalist/guitarist Alex Bars was hurt this past Friday. Details about his condition and the band's touring plans can be read below.
Hello friends, Brendan and most of TREOS here. We are writing to bring you up to speed on an unfortunate incident that took place this past Friday. In a freak accident, Alex Bars (Vocals/Guitar), tripped and fell about 11 feet down a flight of stairs. After a fairly long emergency room stay, he was diagnosed with a fractured left scapula(shoulder blade), three fractured ribs, a punctured lung, and a few damaged vertebrae. As you can imagine, our entire band has been pretty shaken up this entire weekend. On the bright side, we are happy to have our friend/band mate still alive, and very thankful he avoided being paralyzed, or anything more serious for that matter.

Alex was checked out of the Brigham and Women's Hospital, in Boston,MA, Sunday evening after two long nights. He will remain home until he has aptly recovered. We will most certainly keep you posted with his progress. All we ask is you keep Alex and his friends/family in your thoughts, prayers, or whatever you may do.

As for The Receiving End of Sirens, we have decided not to cancel any of our upcoming headlining shows for "The New Hope Tour". Even though we will undoubtedly feel incomplete, we refuse to let down our friends, fans, promoters, clubs, and most importantly Alex. At this point, how large of a role Alex will be able to play in the first shows is still undetermined. We appreciate your support and understanding! Love, Alex, Andrew, Brendan, Casey, Nate

Ah man, I love this dude. :\

I know. But as bad as that injury sounds, it could have been a ton worse, I'm just thankful he will be able to continue on in life.

[Tony]

man, i hope he's better in time for at least part of the tour (specifially my date). it just won't feel like a TREOS show without him.

[Caleb Cattivera]

alex is a great guy. i hate to see something like this happen, but i'm glad he's going to be ok.

[(joeyman)]

ps - i love brigham and womens...if i had a favorite hospital, it's probably be that one. is that weird?

[reductiondesign]

Great, great guys. Glad he'll be okay.

[JoshIsArealBoy]

Oh man, that sucks, they are in my prayers!

[aminorthreat55]

Ah man, I love this dude. :\
Ditto. It sucks to see something happen to such a nice guy.

[KarolaBloch]

feel better alex. they were suppose to play at my school on saturday night but it got cancelled. at least it was for a good reason.

[baton]

for real, my thougths with this guy, get well soon

[SykoBadger]

Does this mean the others will have to rock extra hard to make up for his absence? Glad he is (comparatively) ok, and still mega-pumped to see them on Sunday

[Isbu]

Awesome guy. They all are. Feel better.

[Troy will Fall]

i hope he gets well soon :)

Thats really unfortunate.

[walshknilb281]

get better man i hope to see you on friday

[-Aaron-]

I want to jokingly say that he deserves this for not coming to St. Louis on the headlining tour but thats just mean.

Good well soon Alex.

[mogwaifearsatan]

busted ribs and shoulder = xHARDCOREx

but seriously, good to hear he's ok and i hope he makes a speedy recovery.

[booyah.achieved]

That just plain sucks. He's the nicest, straight up most stand up guy around. So are all of the guys in TREOS.

Get well soon, Alex.

[Independant27]

Shittt, this sucks, feel better.

I'm going to see TREOS the first :-( I hope he's better by then, won't feel right with him gone.

[weworemasks]

alex is a dope guy. hes one of the nicest dudes ive ever met in a band. hope he recovers soon enough.

[Kyner]

I'm glad he is ok....what a stand-up group of guys!

[12TREOS19]

this sucks, i'm glad it wasn't worse. get well alex

[Jim Morgan]

great dudes, great band, horrible incident.

hope for a speedy recovery

[Anton Djamoos]

Glad it wasn't the last night in his body.

Har har.

"Between the Heart and the Synapse" has been the CD that has dominated my ears for the past month.

[Go Analog Baby]

That's too bad, but at least he is okay enough to tour.

[Independant27]

Glad it wasn't the last night in his body.

Har har.

"Between the Heart and the Synapse" has been the CD that has dominated my ears for the past month.

Last year for me.

[JunkBondTrader]

is alex the one with long hair (besides casey)? if so he has incredible stage presence. i loved watching them play live

[JustAn0th3rFace]

terrible to hear.. my best to him, that god it wasnt any worst

cant wait to see them saturday either way.. its not going to be the same TREOS though!

Maybe Nate will sing :P. Or Ben will fill in /laff

[TomAce]

why is it everytime i seem to start getting into a band for the second time around, something really bad happenes to them like within the same week?

Std-Flips thier van, TJT-Breaks up, Bayside-Beatz dies, TREOS-Alex gets hurt, Elliot Smith-Kills himself

Maybe i should just keep listening to the bands i love constantly and run the risk of playing them out just for thier sake

[Total Silence]

Ah man, I love this dude. :\

you love all dudes. haha

[rewindthistime]

i can't speak highly enough of alex & treos. such great people.

hopefully alex will make a quick recovery<3

[worldsattack]

thank god he's okay. <3

[ForeverInADay]

how did he manage that?

Regardless, heal up fast dude.

[ADreamToCrush]

Awww that sucks. Godspeed to Alex in his recovery. The whole group of guys are swell and didn't deserve what happened to Alex. But as has been stated, it is good that things weren't worse.

[Independant27]

is alex the one with long hair (besides casey)? if so he has incredible stage presence. i loved watching them play live

Yup that's him, he's my favorite in the band, he gets so into it and hes just an all around nice guy.

[xconcretenwater]

get better soon man!

ps - i love brigham and womens...if i had a favorite hospital, it's probably be that one. is that weird?

brigham and women's is probably the tightest hospital in the country. nothing more to it.
children's throws down pretty hard too.

[Suchasucker]

I read about this earlier. Horrible to hear about something like that happening.

I'm just glad the outcome wasn't any worse.

Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

[weworemasks]

Last year for me.
