The recent crowdfunding campaign launched to purchase a more modern wheelchair for ex-DECAPITATED vocalist Adrian “Covan” Kowanek was a success, and Covan now has some new wheels.
Spearheaded by Decapitated in addition to other members of the metal community, the fundraising effort netted more than $14,000. Details and photographs can be found below.
Kowanek has been disabled since the 2007 tour bus crash that left him severly injured and ultimately claimed the life of drummer Witold “Vitek” Kieltyka.
