Yob - Frontman Recovering From Emergency Surgery, Crowdfunding Campaign Launched


Yob's frontman Mike Scheidt is lucky to be alive following a terrifying medical emergency for diverticulitis. He recently underwent emergency intestinal surgery. A GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign has been set up and all donations go towards his medical bills for past and upcoming surgeries, as well as living expenses while he heals. Furthermore, you can attend the benefit show for Mike in Portland on March 16th. Over 27,000 dollars have already been raised so far.

Mike Scheidt thanked for all the support: "We reached our Gofundme goal in three days time. In short, it is miraculous. This is what you have given me: I will be able to deal with my doctor's bills. I will be able to recover at a healthy pace, without worry about how I'm going to survive. Thanks to this, along with the upcoming benefit show in Portland March 16th with Red Fang, DANAVA, and Norska, I will be able to afford my medications, rent, and other bills while I am laid up, and into full recovery. You have made me feel loved and supported, astonishingly so. I will be able to continue to work on writing the new Yob album, my new solo album, and also a couple of surprises that are yet to be revealed, all of which were and are solidly coming into focus. Before this hospitalization happened, I was playing guitar daily, fired up and fully inspired. Now, I will have even more to bring to the music. Immeasurably more. In part due to my near death experience. In part due to this journey of healing, and the lessons both the NDE and healing have to teach. I will have more to bring to this new music and to my life in general, because of you and all that you have given me. I've said my gratitude reaches to the sky and back. My gratitude to you also runs deep into my bones and beyond. Some of these times have been the absolute worst of my life. Other parts, the ones I will carry with me from here forward, have paradoxically been some of the greatest, most transformational experiences of my life. I will carry these lessons forward, and do my very best to rise to the potential they hold. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Sincerely Yours, Mike Scheidt."
