A day ago another GoFundMe page was created for John Ashton, and it was organized by Frank Coleman, the drummer of John's band Satellite Paradiso. Frank shared the page on his Facebook and Instagram, and here's what he wrote:
"I'm organizing this fundraiser to help my friend and colleague, John Ashton, best known as the former lead guitarist for The Psychedelic Furs. He and his beautiful family, Catherine, Oliver, and Tallulah, are trying to survive another year, while navigating the awful realities of John's stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis.
"The outpouring of support last year was INCREDIBLE, and we are all so tremendously grateful! Despite his best efforts, though, John hasn't been able to find work since last June. The man is one of the most influential guitarists of our generation. He is my musical hero, my bandmate, and my friend. He and his family could really use your help. Please share widely! THANK YOU! WE LOVE YOU!"
On the GoFundMe page Frank wrote that so far since August 2021 John had one session of Brachiotherapy, followed by 25 sessions of radiation treatments. Right now he is still in treatment and is receiving hormone therapy, plus a clinical trial drug protocol until August 2023.
Here is the link to the second GoFundMe page and please share, donate, and do everything you can to help John Ashton and his family. Wishing them all the best and I hope they will get the help and support they need. https://www.gofundme.com/f/love-my-way-for-my-friends-in-need-part-2?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&fbclid=IwAR1VYbuaTLd_UaETenWjYO8e_fzm6CyS4xLQYllRZkcSbKPynk1tY20ChC4
