Ringworm Vocalist Human Furnace Launches Crowdfunding Campaign Following Surgery

A crowdfunding effort has been launched to support Ringworm vocalist James “Human Furnace” Bulloch as he recovers from a recent surgery that has temporarily sidelined both his music and tattoo careers.

The fundraiser was organized by Hatebreed guitarist — and former Ringworm member — Frank Novinec alongside Integrity vocalist Dwid Hellion. The campaign aims to help offset mounting medical expenses and everyday costs while Bulloch focuses on recovery.

According to the organizers, the surgery will prevent Bulloch from working at his tattoo shop for at least a month, while a return to performing live with Ringworm and Gluttons is expected to take several months.

In a statement shared alongside the fundraiser, Novinec and Hellion explained the situation:

“James ‘Human Furnace’ Bulloch is a talented tattoo artist and, as many of you know, the singer for Ringworm and Gluttons. Recently, James had to undergo surgery, which has put his life and career on hold. As a result, he is unable to work at the tattoo shop for at least a month, and it will be several months before he can return to performing with his bands. This sudden change has created a lot of uncertainty and stress, both emotionally and financially.

During this recovery period, the bills don’t stop coming. Medical expenses are adding up, and without his regular income from tattooing and performing, it’s tough to keep up with everyday living costs. We (Frank and Dwid) started this fundraiser to help ease that burden, so James can focus on healing without the added worry of how to pay for essentials.

Thanks in advance to everyone who supports James during this challenging time. Every bit of help means the world and brings him one step closer to getting back to doing what he does best—creating art and music for the community.”

Fans looking to contribute can find the fundraiser through GoFundMe.
