GWAR have rallied behind their former vocalist Chuck Varga, aka the Sexecutioner. The band have encouraged fans to participate in a nationwide blood donation campaign amid Varga‘s ongoing cancer battle. It’s a somewhat ironic turn of events for GWAR, who after spilling so much ‘blood’ over the years, are now looking to their fans to give back. A press release on the matter stated the following of the campaign:
‘The GWAR family is coming together to support one of their own. Chuck Varga, known to fans as The Sexecutioner and one of the founding members of GWAR, is currently battling cancer. In response, the band and their extended community have launched a nationwide blood donation campaign in his honor.
Fans are encouraged to find a blood bank near them and either register as donors or give blood in Chuck’s name. As a thank you, participants will receive a free exclusive t shirt designed by Chuck himself.
This campaign gives the GWAR faithful a way to show up in a real and meaningful way, helping save lives while honoring a character and creator who has given so much to the band’s world.’
You can find details on how to redeem this exclusive shirt over at gwar.net, along with further details of the impact Varga had on the band during his tenure.
