days after touching down in the democratic republic of congo, sum 41 were forced to evacuate the african country when gunfire and explosions outside their hotel jeopardized their safety .
as if their lives weren' t crazy enough, the band took a trip to the democratic republic of congo, where they filmed a documentary titled rocked: sum 41 in congo. they went during a ceasefire, but found themselves caught in the middle of an unexpected escalation of violence (which can be seen on the documentary) .

rocked is an unscripted account of an african country in turmoil as seen through the eyes of rock band, sum 41. the war in the democratic republic of the congo has been characterized as one of the world' s worst humanitarian crises and the most deadly war ever documented in africa. the film crew follows the musical group, sum 41, as they meet congolese children and youth caught in the crossfire, including child soldiers and victims of assault .
for longtime fans of sum 41, the guys are being given another second chance. in an interview with alternative press magazine, both cone and baksh had revealed their interest in rejoining deryck to bring sum 41 back to life. deryck expressed his determination to start playing shows again .

despite all the hills they' ve had to climb, sum 41 is ready to bring fans back with songs like

as well as create something listeners will hear and think ,
that' s the sum 41 we all know and love .
jon marshall started off until the band' s producer and manager, greig nori, advised deryck he had what it took to be vocalist, resulting in marshall' s end with sum 41 .
prior to the violent outbreak, bukavu had stayed relatively calm for the past year under a united nations peace accord, allowing sum 41 to meet with child soldiers, surviving victims of the conflict, and united nations officials. in a post on the war child web site, drummer steve jocz described the city as beautiful despite the scars of war, and was eager to get on with the rest of the visit (see

the band was visiting the war - torn nation to film a documentary, in association with the charity war child canada, on the impact of the congo' s longstanding civil war that has killed more than 3. 5 million people since 1998. in bukavu, near the rwandan border, fighting erupted near sum 41' s hotel between government soldiers and troops aligned with a renegade commander, according to a band spokesperson .
popular punk - pop rockers sum 41 take a break from the music to join war child canada in traveling to the democratic republic of congo (drc) for an eye - opening look at an african country where the rage of war has held a population in fear since 1998. after being caught in the middle of a battle between rebel soldiers and government troops, band members deryk, steve, cone, and dave meet with congolese children to whom death has sadly become a way of life .
the irony of the whole story is that we went to the congo to shoot a documentary on the subject of war ,
whibley said .
and in the end we became the subject of war .

however, violence on par with what' s been happening in the rest of the country has continued since the band evacuated. at least 45 people, including a u. n. peacekeeper, have been killed in and around bukavu in the last week, according to the new york times .
he ended up in the hospital where his health was in critical condition, worrying his bandmates and even scaring himself. after being released from the hospital, deryck headed down the path of getting sober .
they will be making an appearance at this year' s ap music awards in ohio, the band' s first live show in two years. the singer also advised he has been working on new material .

over the years, the band has dealt with what many bands face: replacements and losing members. for those used to seeing lead singer / founding member deryck whibley as sum' s front man, it may come as a
really, since when! ?
surprise to learn that he' s not the original lead singer .

between issues at home and feeling as though nothing was heading in the right direction, baksh decided to resign. tom thacker, former member of the band gob, took his place .
they never did. five or six hours later, the peacekeeper called for armored personnel carriers to remove the crowd from the hot zone, and the only way out was back through the hotel lobby and into the street. in four groups of 10, they set out on the treacherous escape route .
as the old adage goes, things have to get worse before they can get better. deryck himself was faced with physical injuries to his back, a divorce from canadian pop singer avril lavigne, as well as his own near - death experience caused from excessive amounts of drinking. not knowing another way to deal with the difficult goings on in his life, deryck would turn to alcohol .
the fighting began around midnight on may 26, whibley said, but unlike the sporadic shots they had been warned about, this seemed to persist longer than usual. the band and its crew, including the filmmakers and war child personnel, joined the 40 or so other hotel guests in one room at the back of the hotel. a u. n. peacekeeper staying at the hotel ordered them to lay on the floor until the explosions subsided .

whether it involved the band as a whole or was a personal issue a member himself was handling, the guys are ready to have a fresh start with hopes that their fans will be as committed as they are .
at young ages, the guys were partying all the time, surrounded by a lot of booze and a lot of drugs. they had been exposed to a world they were unfamiliar with, but soon became acquainted with .
through their partying, they made friends with names such as fat mike of nofx and motley crue drummer tommy lee .
although the danger was happening right outside of their hotel, explosives and shootings, none of them got hurt. deryck also ended up having a falling out with greig nori, which eventually led to nori' s termination .
deryck even told people magazine that he is committed to remaining sober and feels better than he has ever felt .

bullets were coming through windows and everyone was just lying on the ground with their hands on their heads ,
singer deryck whibley said .
one bomb came too close, hit the hotel and the hotel just started shaking. everyone dove and was lying on the ground. thing were falling off the walls, mirrors were breaking. that' s when we all kind of realized that this was really going bad and we' re probably not going to make it out .
people were crying and everyone' s hugging each other, basically saying goodbye .
( cameras were rolling as the band escaped. click here to watch. )
suddenly the tanks showed up and we all ran out ,
whibley said .
it was about 100 feet from the door [ of the hotel ] to the tanks, [ and we had to cross ] the street where all the fighting had been happening, and that' s when it got really scary. that was the scariest moment for me, running from the door to the tank thinking,' we' re going to be fired upon.'
the armored personnel carriers transported the group to the u. n. peacekeeping headquarters on the other side of town. the following day, the bandmembers were taken to the local airport, where they flew out to uganda. on friday, they returned safely to toronto .
