Deafheaven/Doomriders' Chris Johnson injured in bike accident; crowdfunding campaign launched

Chris Johnson, bassist/vocalist of Summoner who’s also been the bassist of Doomriders since 2016 and the bassist of Deafheaven since 2017 (and played on last year’s Ordinary Corrupt Human Love), has sadly been injured in a bicycle accident, and Lambgoat points out that he launched a crowdfunding campaign to help with his medical bills. It reads:

This is a fundraiser to help cover medical costs from a recent bicycle accident, which resulted in me losing everything from my dignity (lol) to some teeth and beyond. I’ve had a few close friends suggest that I do something like this to help cover some of the expenses, so here we are, BUT, I’m going to work for it.

Sad news. If you’d like to help out, you can donate here.

Deafheaven have an upcoming co-headlining tour with Baroness (including NJ’s Starland Ballroom on 4/5 and NYC’s Terminal 5 on 4/12), shows with Gojira around Bonnaroo, and more.
