Bad Brains Launch GoFundMe For Guitarist Dr. Know’s Medical Expenses
The D.C. legends rally support.
Bad Brains, one of the best hardcore bands anywhere ever, has started a GoFundMe page for their guitarist Dr. Know aka Gary Miller, Pitchfork has spotted.
According to the fund's description, last November Miller was hospitalized for cardiac arrest and multiple organ failure, and was given a 5% chance of survival after being on life support for two weeks. Today, after three months in hospital he's expected to make a full recovery and is currently undergoing physical therapy.
However, Miller did not have health insurance when he was admitted to the hospital, and the resulting bills and money lost from Miller's inability to work have dealt his family “an overwhelming financial strain.” All donations recieved will go towards covering these bills as well as “living expenses until he can make a full recovery and get back to work.”
As the page says, donate and “keep the PMA coming!”
