Guitarist JAMES MURPHY Selling TESTAMENT Farsi/English Lyric Book To Help Cover Medical Expenses
October 9, 2011, 13 years ago
Guitarist / producer JAMES MURPHY, who has worked with heavyweights DEATH, TESTAMENT and OBITUARY, has revealed that he is currently undergoing treatment to determine if the brain tumor he defeated nine years ago has returned. An MRI is scheduled for October 11th.
Murphy has issued the following update:
"If anyone wants one of these, I'm selling them, signed, for $15 via PayPal in the US, $25 to the EU. Just message me with the subject 'Testament Farsi Book'. It's a unique collectors item that compiles all of Testament's lyrics from the first several albums in both English and Farsi. I have a couple boxes of them, and I'll be using the proceeds for my prescriptions."Contact Murphy via his official Facebook page.
As previously reported, WORLD UNDER BLOOD's Deron Miller, who worked with Murphy on the band's debut album, has responded with an effort to raise money to help cover Murphy's medical expenses:
"James Murphy, legendary rock/metal guitarist (helped me with World Under Blood's Tactical CD) has just informed me that the brain tumor he was diagnosed with in 2001 had been improving and shrinking for the last several years... is returning rapidly. If my wife Felissa and I could get our Facebook friends to each PayPal at least $1, he will have an easier time covering the expenses that come with having no insurance and being a musician/producer. I'm asking you to contribute as much as you want, but the person that contributes the most will recieve something very special from my wife and I. I'm not trying to make a competition out of this, I just want my buddy well again. Please share this post and the PayPal address is felissarose123@aol.com. 100% of the money will go to his treatment and expenses. Thanks so much in advance!!!"
