Richard Lloyd's Battle for Survival | Music News
Description
Richard Lloyd, legendary Television guitarist and band co-founder, is battling aggressive bile duct cancer with tumors dangerously near a major blood vessel—making surgery impossible. After multiple hospitalizations and a sepsis scare, he’s now sidelined from touring, his primary income source, while his wife Sheila shoulders full-time caregiving duties. A GoFundMe campaign has launched to cover mounting medical bills, living expenses, and lost income, with a $80,000 goal already nearing halfway. Royalty disputes add to the financial strain, but bandmate Sean Seymour urges fans to rally—because after decades of music that shaped countless lives, it’s time for the community to return the favor. Even sharing the campaign counts as support. Patti Smith and Susan Tweedy have already donated, proving Richard’s enduring cultural impact. He’s deeply grateful for every contribution, big or small.
