Former Hot Rod Circuit drummer Dan Duggins suffered a stroke on April 27th due to a blood clot in his neck.
Mike Poorman, also a former Hot Rod Circuit drummer said:
"[Duggins] is currently in a 'locked in' state in intensive care, which means that he can not move and cannot communicate, except with eye movement. I've just read this morning that he moved his left foot on command, which is absolutely amazing, and definitely hopeful!
Like most full time musicians, Dan does not have health insurance. His medical bills and living expenses during/after this will be through the roof. I have set up a paypal account to help him and his family with this financial burden. If there are any of you out there that can donate to help, it would be greatly appreciated. Even a few dollars will help."
Information on how to donate money towards Duggin's medical insurance can be found here.

We regret to inform you that we will NOT be apart of The Rocket Summer spring UK tour.
