Last year, he started experiencing health issues and was hospitalized several times, also while on tour. It was then that it was discovered that Nick was losing kidney function.
A gofundme campaign has been set up to raise money for Nick’s treatment. The information included there reads: ‘Unfortunately, […] the kidneys are now in full failure and he cannot currently work due to the dialysis schedule and focusing on his health. […] He has dialysis 3 times a week with a 4 hour duration each visit. The waiting list for a kidney is long….. So the more we can help him survive the day to day, the more he can focus on his health and not other things.’
