If you need inspiration on doing something you might not want to do, look no further than The Ghost Inside. After the band's tragic bus crash, which left their driver dead, drummer Andrew Tkaczyk sadly lost his leg. But he was thankful to be alive and vowed to keep going. Guitarist Zach Johnson lost two toes, but was thankful to be alive. Frontman Jonathan Vigil broke both ankles and his neck and is suffering from a bone infection.
But no matter what, the band vow return to the stage. And the stage has been set. At last night's Warped Tour 2016 lineup announcement (the lineup was leaked over the weekend), the organizers also announced the first band for the following year, 2017, and that band is The Ghost Inside.

It will surely be an emotional moment… that first stop of the tour, when the band takes the stage for the first time. We're rooting for you, guys. Go get 'em!
