A Kiss Before Dying have launched a benefit shirt to help guitarist Brodie Climer cover medical expenses after he suffered multiple facial fractures while moshing during Gasket’s set in Toledo, Ohio.
The injury occurred on June 27, forcing the metalcore band to cancel the final four dates of their current tour while Climer undergoes treatment and prepares for surgery.
Announcing the news on social media, the band revealed the extent of his injuries.
“Our guitarist Brodie is straight STUPID and got hit in the head during Gasket last night during epic breakdown.
He has 3 fractures in his face, a black eye, and needs plastic surgery pretty relatively immediately.
We are unable to rip the last 4 shows of this tour, hoping to pick back up in about a week and a half with even more scene.”
In response, A Kiss Before Dying released a fundraiser shirt, with proceeds helping offset Climer’s expected medical bills.
Gasket have also launched their own benefit shirt in support of the injured guitarist, encouraging fans to contribute while explaining what happened.
“A MEMBER OF THE GASKET DANCE TEAM @BRODIEGUY_ UNFORTUNATELY GOT HIS FACE FUCKED UP CRAZY STYLE WHILE MOSHING TO OUR SET IN TOLEDO OHIO LAST WEEK.
HIS BAND @AKISSBEFOREDYING_ HAD TO CANCEL THE REST OF THE TOUR THEY WERE ON AND NOW HE NEEDS SURGERY TO UNFUCK HIS FACE.
THESE SHIRTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR PRESALE NOW UNTIL SUNDAY NIGHT FOR $20 AND WILL BE SHIPPED ASAP WITH ALL OF THE PROFITS GOING TO BRODIE.”
Photos shared by A Kiss Before Dying show the extent of Climer’s injuries, including significant swelling and bruising around one eye as he begins his recovery.
