Scottish musician Dale Barclay has been diagnosed with brain cancer, with fans rallying to help.
The musician previously worked with The Amazing Snakeheads, and is currently lending a hand to And Yet It Moves.
Much-liked in Glasgow's closeknit music scene, Dale has very sadly been diagnosed with brain cancer.
Treatment has been ongoing throughout much of 2018, with Dale writing:
"There is no doubt, whatsoever, that I'll be living with cancer for as long as I am alive. However time pans out, it's here, it's now and it's not going anywhere. The NHS have been stellar, true heroes – too many to mention. They have done everything in their power for me, but my treatment from here on out is going to cost money. I need specialist care. I am officially a customer. This is the reality."
Fellow musicians and fans are rallying round, helping to pay for medical costs. A full GoFundMe page has been set up, and you can get involved HERE.
Here's just a few of the messages of support coming in for Dale…
Our friend is very poorly, not only is he a talented fucker and a proper handsome fucker, he’s also one of the sweetest fuckers I’ve met in this poisonous vacuous world of no-biz. If you can help, you will help. X Adrian for the Moonlandingz https://t.co/tI2hB9z5gj
