Hello dear friends,
In case you haven’t heard , my great friend , and eodm bandmate , Brian ”BOC” O’Connor , was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. He’s had a successful surgery and is healing nicely. He’s in great spirits. Family and friends from around the globe are all pitching in to help however they can. He’s positive, and he is going to beat this thing!! Of course, as a musician, he has no health insurance and bills run high . he’s expected to be in chemo and radiation treatment for quite some time.

We’re having a benefit in los angeles on august 12th . queens of the stone age and eagles of death metal will be performing. In case you can’t make this show, here’s some links if you’d like to contribute to his cause.

please pass this along …

Eagles of Death Metal bassist Brian O’Connor has been diagnosed with cancer, and is undergoing treatment in Los Angeles.

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 and Them Crooked Vultures 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.

Two Trans-Atlantic benefit shows are planned to help raise funds for Brian’s medical and living expenses. Them Crooked Vultures will headline a sold-out show on July 5th at Brixton Academy in London and details on a Queens of the Stone Age/Eagles of Death Metal show in Los Angeles will be announced on July 12th.

Below is a brilliantly optimistic statement from Brian:

In regards to my current health situation, with the remarkable support and love from my amazing friends and family, I am receiving the best medical and moral attention one could ask for. I cannot thank everyone enough for their continued support and involvement. I am excited for my full recovery and look forward to getting back to what I love most: melting face with my bass. I’m feeling great. After all, I am half unicorn. Keep ya posted.

Love and gratitude,
BOC
