ENTHEOS Drummer Navene Koperweis Suffers Broken Ankle After Show Mishap, Vows To Continue Tour

Entheos drummer Navene Koperweis is pushing through a sudden injury after fracturing his ankle in an unexpected accident following the band’s performance last night (Saturday, November 22). The incident occurred while he was helping restock merch, leading to a misstep off the band’s trailer.

Koperweis addressed the situation directly, assuring fans that he intends to stay onstage despite the injury:

“Last night after our set I was grabbing some hoodies for a restock, when I jumped out of the trailer I landed on a curb I didn’t see and managed to fracture my ankle!

I’m going to try to play today at sound check and just play everything more stripped down on the double bass and if that doesn’t work then I’ll play the kicks on tracks.

No matter we aren’t missing any shows. This is the best tour of my life, the show must go on!”

Despite the setback, Koperweis made it clear that the band has no plans to postpone or cancel dates. Entheos are currently in the midst of their first-ever North American headlining run, joined by support acts Fallujah, The Zenith Passage, and Tracheotomy
