A fundraiser has been set up to support guitar great Chris Spedding, who has been diagnosed with blood cancer. The 82-year-old, who has played with Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry, Elton John, John Cale, Jack Bruce, Tom Waits, Paul McCartney and more – as well as playing pivotal early roles in the careers of The Cramps and The Sex Pistols – has just started an intensive, nine-month course of chemotherapy.
"In recent months, Chris was diagnosed with large B-cell high-grade, non-Hodgkin lymphoma," says campaign organiser Eden Cale. "Because this fight will pause his ability to work and tour, Chris and his wife, Jody, need our support to help cover essential living expenses and additional medical expenses as they navigate this difficult period.
