Helix drummer Greg “Fritz” Hinz had an accident at home. He fell off a roof, fractured his skull and broke some vertebrae. He is in a medically induced coma. Injuries are supposed to be non-life threatening.
According to Helix singer Brian Vollmer, Fritz has a lot of rehab ahead. All our thoughts and prayers are with the Hinz family as they deal with Greg’s health.

I will be.playing some.Helix today and sending out positive vibes.
I may have to crank it loud enough for him to hear it in Hamilton.

He was so excited when I met him to sign all of my stuff. Most rockers sort of complain since I usually have so much to sign. Not Fritz.
He was genuinely happy. Especially when he signed my copy of Live At The Marquee.
Such a nice dude. I really hope he can pull through and get back to banging the skins.

We’re hoping for a swift recovery, in the meantime Helix have a fill-in for the weekend’s gigs.

Well the prognosis is he should be able to make a recovery but it’s gonna be a long road for him. A lot of physio, a lot of rehab. Helix are throwing a fundraiser for him. They have a fill-in drummer, but they’re very clear: this is a fill-in. He’s not the “new” drummer, Fritz IS the drummer.
