Them Crooked Vultures Cancer Benefit for Eagles of Death Metal Star

Them Crooked Vultures Cancer Benefit for Eagles of Death Metal Star was a top story in May/June. Here is the recap: Them Crooked Vultures have announced a benefit show to aid Eagles of Death Metal bassist Brian O'Connor who has been diagnosed with cancer, and is undergoing treatment in Los Angeles. He had surgery yesterday and will begin chemotherapy in three weeks.

Here is the announcement: When Brian alerted members of his vast family of bands of his diagnosis, a human chain of support formed immediately. Members of Eagles of Death Metal, Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures and Rage Against The Machine, all touring in various locations around the globe, mobilized to take the load off Brian, so he could focus on preparing his mind and body for what lay ahead.

Brian has no health insurance, so the first order of business was to organize a London show and an LA show to raise money for his medical expenses. Them Crooked Vultures announced the London show today; they have added a July 5 Brixton Academy date to their European festival run. Details for the Los Angeles show are being finalized now and will be announced soon. - more on this story
