Former Flotsam And Jetsam Drummer Considered Suicide
. (Classic Rock) Former Flotsam And Jetsam drummer Kelly Smith has revealed he considered suicide before he quit the band last year. Smith walked away from the Arizona outfit in November to deal with family issues including illness, death and drug addiction. According to Blabbermouth, Smith says he and his family are back on track. Kelly says: "I had at one time in France considered the end. This was not a first-time thought, but it was becoming overwhelming. My sister took herself out in 2004 and occasionally I can feel her reaching for me. "When I am in, I am all in 100%, holding nothing back. I take things very seriously and this time it nearly took me out for good. I had to let them go and for both our sakes. May seem dramatic - to me, it was life and death. I chose life." He adds: "When I made my decision to step away from Flotsam, life was crushing me and my family." Read more here.
