Bad Brains’ Dr Know on life support
Our thoughts go out to all in the Bad Brains camp this week who are doing their best to bring Gary (Dr Know) Miller back from a life support system. The band have released a statement over night:
“The Bad Brains family ask that you please keep Gary (Dr Know) Miller in your thoughts and prayers. The family respectfully ask that their privacy be honoured during this time and very much appreciate all the great energy that is being sent their way.”
Gary has been playing guitar in hardcore legends Bad Brains, formed in Washington DC since 1977. Let’s hope that he pulls through whatever he is battling.
