Richard Lloyd Fights Cancer with Music Community Support | New York City News

from New York City News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Legendary guitarist Richard Lloyd, co-founder of Television and a cornerstone of New York’s punk rock scene, is fighting a brutal battle against rare bile duct cancer that’s forced him into the ICU multiple times and ended his touring days. With tumors spreading to his liver and surgery off the table, his medical bills are crushing — but the music world is rallying. His bassist Sean Seymour launched a GoFundMe that’s already smashed $70K thanks to outpouring support from icons like Patti Smith, Lenny Kaye, and Jeff Tweedy — proof that Lloyd’s legacy and the power of community still resonate loud and clear.
