With profound sorrow and regret, we’re sorry to have to tell you that on Sunday, May 4, The Brakes’ drummer Josh Sack lost his battle with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). Diagnosed last August, Josh bravely fought the cancer, even regaining his strength long enough to tour in October and drum at rehearsals as recently as last week.

The family respectfully requests that contributions in his memory be made to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Condolences, memories or messages to the band can be sent to management@brakesband.com.

Josh Sack's obituary can be read here at the Philadelphia Inquirer.
