EXTREME Guitarist To Perform At Cancer Benefit Jam This Sunday
July 23, 2008, 16 years ago
EXTREME guitarist Nuno Bettencourt will perform at a benefit jam at The Brewery Exchange in Lowell, MA this Sunday, July 27th. He has issued the following update:
"A dear friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer recently. His name is Eugene Silva. He just turned a young 51 on July 4th. He is one of the strongest and funniest guys I have ever known. Back in the day he was a bullfighter in Acores. Those of you who know him know how much he lights up any room he walks into. But unfortunately, as we all know, when we need our insurance companies the most, they always find ways to abandon us. He is married, has a great 16-year-old boy and is struggling with medication and treatment payment and the burden is worse as he cannot make a living for his family. All I am asking is that we all — self included — donate $20 at the door, or whatever you can give.For those of us who know him, it's not much to ask. For everyone else, this favor would be for me, and I will not forget it, and will be indebted to you. Anytime ever in the future you need me and my services for similar reasons, I will do my best to help."
