GoFundMe Launched For Raven Frontman John Gallagher

Newcastle heavy metal legends Raven were recently forced to cancel their plans after vocalist/bassist John Gallagher suffered a subdural hematoma. Now, in order to help the musician out during such a stressful and worrying time, a GoFundMe has been launched. A message from organiser Roy Coston reads as follows:

“My name is Roy Coston. As many of you know, Mr. John Gallagher was admitted to hospital with a massive headache on August 12th. Following a CAT scan, it was determined that he was suffering from a bleed on the brain, Subdural Hematoma. Surgery was planned for the next day, then a further, more invasive surgery was performed on August 19th.

“This of course forced the cancellation of the bands September European tour causing a myriad of financial issues due to flights, hotels and transportation that were already paid for and in most cases are non refundable.

“John is healing very slowly but steady. This has been very hard emotionally and financially for the Gallagher family. With the medical expenses incurred, being a touring musician, everything is out of pocket.”
