Summary
It’s heart-wrenching for Cancer Bats after their gear was stolen during a sold-out Indiana show, leaving them with only their van and facing a $34k loss in customised gear and merchandise through GoFundMe. Despite being seasoned tour bands, this marks their first such mishap, though insurance will help cover part of the $30k still needed. So far, fans have contributed nearly $34k, exceeding the insurance payout, with the band pledging to donate leftover funds to musical donations for kids in remote areas of Canada.
