Lou Koller.

The global hardcore community has rallied around Sick Of It All frontman Lou Koller following the revelation that doctors discovered a cancerous tumor in the singer's esophagus.

After Koller broke the news of his diagnosis in a social media post, to explain why the New York hardcore veterans has been forced to cancel scheduled European tour dates, his brother Pete, SOIA's guitarist, set up a GoFundMe campaign to help cover some of the costs of his cancer treatment and assist with living expenses while the group are off the road.

"As you know touring is the lifeline for a band like sick of it all," Pete Koller wrote, revealing that his brother has been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma cancer. "If you could help him it would be greatly appreciated."

In a reference to the lyrics of Sick Of It All's Good Lookin' Out, from their 1997 album, Built To Last, Koller ended his message with the line, "Good friends will always be there"!!
