Former Sick Of It All bassist Richard Cipriano is sadly the latest member of the NYHC legends to battle cancer. Cipriano performed with the band from 1986 through to 1992. He was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, with a fundraising effort now underway via the non-profit organization Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.
Donations are currently being fielded, while a fundraising t-shirt is also available through Revelation Records. Tragically, Sick Of It All vocalist Lou Koller passed away in July of this year, following his own battle with cancer.
