Members Of
DIO, GREAT WHITE, XYZ, WARRIOR Expected At Benefit For Former KNAC Radio Personality
www.KNAC.com has issued the following:
The support is pouring in for former KNAC FM air personality Tawn Mastrey who is struggling to survive Hepatitus C, and searching for a liver donor
Tawn's sister Cara Mastrey says, "The concert at the Martini Blue (Southern California) is sold out... there will be a lot of press there and I'm sure a line to get in."
Robbie Robfogel is putting the Martini Blue benefit show together and offers this update:
"Just wanted to keep you in the loop on who is confirmed to be at the Tribute For Tawn Show on the 28th (July) as far as "Rock Gods"... Craig Goldy (who called yesterday and really touched me by saying that everyone in the DIO camp is so proud of me for taking on this task... and Craig is excited as they come to get up there and jam for Tawn!)
Simon Wright, Terry Ilous of XYZ, who has said he is bringing with him Chris Slade (AC/DC)... (drum roll... and maybe... well, we should keep that under wraps until I get a definite from Chris and Terry).
Tony Montana (GREAT WHITE fame),
Perry McCarty of WARRIOR and ATOMIC PLAYBOYS,
Tommy Asakawa of Warrior, and
Marco Mendoza says he more than likely will make it.
Cara Mastery adds the latest on her sis:
"The Dr's in L.A. felt Tawn would have a better chance of getting a liver here in Minneapolis. 2,000 people are on the list in L.A. and only 500 will actually get a liver.
Tawn is at our mothers home. She needs 24 hour care. She's in bed most of the time but I get her up and walking around so her body doesn't fall into atrophy.
We've had to go through a lot of red tape to get Tawn Government medical assistance before any hospital would go to the next step. That is now in place, and she is going to go through the final stages of going through physical tests, and at that point, she will be considered to go on the waiting list for a liver transplant. She will be at the top of the list because her liver is almost gone completely.
After that, it is another wait for the liver.
We are planning 3 major concerts... L.A., the Bay area and Minneapolis. We will soon announce where when and with who for the concerts.
Thank you so much!!"
