Neurosis’ Scott Kelly: Wife Afflicted with Undiagnosed Illness, Seeks Funds for Medical Care

Scott Kelly, founding guitarist and vocalist for Neurosis, needs your help.

According to a new GoFundMe page launched over the weekend to raise money for medical treatment, Kelly’s wife, Sarah, “woke up on Tuesday, March 24th unable to walk or see.” And although she’s currently under professional care at Rogue Regional Medical Center in Medford, OR, “the doctors are still not able to identify an exact diagnosis.” Her sight has begun to come back, but she still doesn’t have use of her legs.

All of which is really upsetting, to put it mildly. I can’t imagine the waking nightmare that must be suddenly losing your sight and ability to walk for no reason that anyone can figure out.

I’m one of the five people in the world who doesn’t “get” Neurosis, but I understand what an impact they’ve made on the metal world, and that Kelly is an important part of our community (there’s also just basic human kindness to consider). The Kellys are trying to raise a pretty hefty sum — $50,000 — but if everyone chips in just a few bucks, they should be able to get all the help they need.

Don’t wait. Donate here.
