Drummer Adam Sagan Leaves Into Eternity

I'm very sad to announce to all of you that I am no longer a member of INTO ETERNITY. This is not what I wanted, but the simple truth is, for personal and professional reasons I cannot continue to play in Into Eternity at this point in my life. I have nothing bad to say about Tim, Rob, Stu and Troy. They are truly wonderful people and some of my best friends. We've been through some tremendous experiences, and I can't thank them enough for the amazing times we've had and the incredible opportunities that they've given me. It's been absolutely humbling playing with such ferocious, capable and professional musicians. Thank you gentleman. I wish you nothing but the best. I also want to send a huge THANK YOU to all of the incredible fans and friends I've met and gotten to know so well, along with the truly gracious promoters that always treated IE so well, particularly the Brazilian Pride (you know who you three are), Sean "The Captain" Cipriano at The Pound in San Francisco, Noel at Inertia, Stephan and all of BCI, Jay Nedry and co. at Jaxx, and the whole crew of BB King's in NYC. An extra special thank you goes to all of the wildly dedicated and insane Into Eternity fans up in Regina. You all truly know how to support your scene! And of course, horns up to all the guys in Amorphis, Beyond the Embrace, Graveworm, Hate Eternal, Krisiun, Opeth, Nevermore, Kataklysm, and all of the other incredible bands with whom we've shared a stage (or gazebo) in the last 18 months. THANK YOU!!

That sounds like the (unfortunately) "usual" trouble of making ends meet and getting your bills paid.....



I'm so sorry to hear this Adam! I hope we meet again and stay in touch!

Big hugs to you Adam - I am sad to see you leave, you know that. But one has to do what is best for themselves and I am sure the fans will understand. Much luck to whatever you do musically after this, although I know you won't need the luck. You are a very talented musician and I know all will be well for you. Please please please keep in touch, okay?

And on a more serious note, sorry to hear that you're leaving the band Adam, you're one hell of a drummer. I'm sure we'll be seeing/hearing more of you soon enough though. Best of luck! \m/

Adam,

It was an honor and a priviledge to meet you at a couple of hometown shows here in Regina, that first time at Rob's when you gave me the Halycon CD, and that time at STC when you were doing some photocopying (if you remember that haha - very cool surprise when the band just got back from on tour). Good luck in all your future endeavors and I know I speak for alot of people when we say that we will miss you. I never did get a crash course drum lesson from you...

Adam, it was a pleasure and an honor sharing the stage, time and the overall experience with you as a fellow newcomer in my short time with the band. I was really looking forward to hearing how it would all turn out with you behind the skins on the next album. Seeing you at the NY shows last year was like running into an old friend.
You're a good guy, wise beyond your years, and I know you'll always persevere and succeed in whatever you do. You've got my number, keep in touch.
Good luck to you and Into Eternity.
DeaN

Adam you are a great player and will be missed. I had the great opportunity to see you on the Edguy/HammerFall tour as well as twice on the Stratovarius tour. Into Eternity kicks ass and you really deliver as a drummer. Keep us posted on where you end up.
