Richard Lloyd, co-founder of the iconic band Television, has revealed his struggle with bile duct cancer. A crowdfunding initiative on social media shares that he received a diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma in March.
Bandmate Sean Seymour reported that Lloyd has endured two severe bouts of sepsis and multiple ICU visits. Due to the tumor's proximity to a major blood vessel, surgery poses significant risks. While Lloyd battles this illness, his wife, Sheila, is his primary caregiver. He has reached out for community support, expressing gratitude for any assistance.
