Get Involved, Internet: Help pay for Billy Zoom’s cancer treatment
None of us are immortal, not even baby-faced, wide-stanced, perpetually grinning rockabilly heartthrobs. Thus, it is our sad duty to report that longtime X guitarist Billy Zoom has been diagnosed with bladder cancer, and is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Zoom’s bandmates Exene Cervenka, John Doe, and DJ Bonebrake, along with his manager Mike Rouse, have started a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for Zoom’s medical treatment; the page went up yesterday, and as of this writing has raised $12,250 of its $50,000 goal.
