— GoFundMe for Scott Snyder of Great White

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — Great White bassist Scott Snyder has been challenged by a very serious medical condition.

Snyder is facing the battle of his life after he recently underwent surgery to remove a ‘fist-sized’ tumor from inside of his brain.

Snyder, 63, joined Great White in 2008 and has been the group’s bassist since but recent challenges with his health will no doubt sideline him from some shows with the group in the near future.

A family member has started a GoFundMe to help raise funds for Snyder‘s medical expenses.

The GoFundMe has some information related and we have shared it below.

I am starting this GoFundMe with my siblings to support our sister Angelique and our brother-in-law Scott. It has been a tough road that began when Scott started having vision changes, headaches, and confusion, with no clear idea of what it could be. When the symptoms started to get more intense and frequent, they decided to go to the emergency room. The doctors discovered a fist sized mass in his brain. He was subsequently admitted to the hospital where they performed emergency brain surgery a week ago. Although the tumor was largely removed and he initially recovered well, he has since developed blood pressure issues and had to return to the hospital. They are both strong willed individuals and have been trying to do things on their own, but with this latest setback they finally agreed to allow us to set up this GoFundMe. They are two of the kindest most loving people and would do anything for anyone. With the money from the GoFundMe, they can focus on Scott and his healing instead of the financial burden this is putting on them.

Metal Sludge would like to wish Scott, his wife and family a speedy recovery.
