Tim Koh of Ariel Pink's band suffers ruptured stomach ulcer (GoFundMe for medical bills)

Tim Koh, who you may know from Ariel Pink’s band (and who has played on records by White Magic, Jorge Elbrecht, Gar War and others), is in a hospital in Greece due to a ruptured stomach ulcer. More from Jorge Elbrecht:

Yesterday on our way to play our last show of the Ariel Pink tour, Tim Koh suffered a ruptured stomach ulcer which resulted in a seizure on the plane. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Rhodes, Greece to rush Tim to immediate medical attention. This was a life-threatening occurrence, and we are all thankful he is still alive. Tim is stable now but remains hospitalized in Greece, where they are recommending that he stay off his feet for two weeks. Let’s help Tim with any hospital bills he will have incurred, and any future treatment he may need to heal this issue and ensure this never happens again.

The GoFundMe for Tim’s medical treatment is currently three-quarters of the way to its $40,000 goal. Help if you can, and we’re wishing Tim a speedy recovery.
