Afghan Whigs-gitarist heeft kanker

Onlangs nog kondigden ze de twintigste verjaardag van ‘Black Love’ aan met bijhorende reissue. Nu is het nieuws, dat Afghan Whigs brengen, minder positief: gitarist Dave Rosser (ook nog in Gutter Twins en Twilight Singers) heeft darmkanker.

Het bericht dat Greg Dullie de wereld instuurde, luidde als volgt: “Dave Rosser has been my close friend and bandmate for over a decade now. By doing these shows for him we hope to ease any financial stress he may face as he pursues treatment to combat his illness. 100% of the proceeds for these shows will go to his medical care. I’m hopeful that folks will come out and show their support for Dave who will be performing with us.”

De desbetreffende benefietconcerten gaan door in New Orleans en Los Angeles.
