In some news that nobody wants to hear, Head Like A Hole bassist and our mate Simon Nicholls has recently had a shock diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer.
Following the upsetting news, Simon's longtime friend and fellow bandmate Booga Beazley has set up a Givealittle page to help him fight the bastard.
"Metastasised to stage 4 Liver Cancer; he needs our help to shrink tumours and fight the spread. In less than a month, Simon has gone from feeling healthy to preparing for intensive chemo," Booga wrote on the Givealittle page.
Simon has taken time off work to start treatment, as well as spend time with family, friends, and complete projects, but is still determined to play as many live gigs as possible. Head Like A Hole are still set to perform at The Rock 2000 Live Event this September.
In Simon's words "I'm 100% committed to playing these shows!"
His band mates, wife and kids are asking for financial help to cover medical costs and associated treatment expenses to help him achieve this while he is receiving and recovering from chemotherapy.
If you have the means and would like to help our mate out while he fights the beast, check out Simon's Givealittle page - the money will help fund medical costs and help Simon take time off work to be with his family during this upsetting time.
