On July 24th, Lou Koller passed away after a long battle with Adenocarcinoma (esophageal cancer). We send our condolences and love to his family and friends. His passing is a great loss to the music community and to all the lives he touched.

This fund will stay active to support Lou's family.

From Sick of it All’s Instagram:

“This year would have marked Sick of it All’s 40th anniversary as a band, and Lou’s camaraderie, commitment and enthusiasm were always steadfast throughout the years. We have lost a beloved friend and an iconic frontman. Lou had the power to raise everyone’s spirits at our shows with a smile and a sarcastic comment, and he won people over wherever we played, from every culture and every corner of the world.

At this time of intense grief, we must again acknowledge the great help and support offered by everyone who donated to Lou’s medical fund. You all helped Lou feel very special and very loved as he battled away these last two years. His battle is over now and he can finally rest. Hopefully he can somehow still see and feel the beautiful, positive mark he left on the world.”
