Keith Collins Battles Dementia | Rock Music News

Keith Collins, the legendary bassist from Savatage’s early days and a pillar of Tampa Bay’s metal scene, is now battling dementia and facing a heartbreaking lack of social security benefits. Beyond his iconic work with Savatage, Keith built a legacy through KRUNCH, radio, and the Tampa Bay Metal Awards — always championing fellow artists. Now, his former bandmate Glenn Dillman has launched a GoFundMe to help cover essential costs and legal support as Keith’s condition worsens. The community is rallying — this is more than a fundraiser, it’s a tribute to a true music veteran in desperate need of help.
