The band celebrated the life of their brother and bandmate Vinnie Paul in May with an emotional sold-out concert in Las Vegas. Here, they made the first steps towards their Vinnie Paul campaign with the American Heart Association.

“Vinnie’s passing was a wake-up call for us all,” says guitarist Tom Maxwell. “Heart disease is the number one cause of death globally.”

HELLYEAH will continue to honour their late bandmate by donating a portion of all ticket sales from their upcoming tour to the campaign, they hope to raise over $10,000 for the American Heart Association.

“Everyone can make some kind of change for the better,” says bassist Kyle Sanders. “It’s never too late.”

Vinnie Paul passed away from heart disease at age 54. By teaming up with the AHA, HELLYEAH are hoping to raise early awareness for the disease and mourn their bandmate in a healthier way.

HELLYEAH was formed in 2006 by Pantera founder/drummer Vinnie Paul, singer Chad Gray (Mudvayne), and guitarist Tom Maxwell (Nothingface). Bassist Kyle Sanders (Bloodsimple) and guitarist Christian Brady joined in 2014. Since forming, the band has released five albums, culminating in the #2 Hard Rock album release UNDEN!ABLE in June 2016. 

Oh My God will feature on their sixth studio album, Welcome Home, slated for release on Friday, 27th September, via Eleven Seven Music. The album will feature Vinnie Paul’s final recordings, pre-orders are available for it now. In the meantime you can stream Oh My God (and previous singles Welcome Home and 333) through all good digital music outlets.
