Parokya ni Edgar frontman Chito Miranda said he, his band, and other musicians will conduct fundraisers for his bandmate Gab Chee Kee who is currently hospitalized due to pneumonia, a complication brought on by his lymphoma.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Miranda said Chee Kee has been diagnosed with lymphoma “last year and has been undergoing chemotherapy for the past few months.”
With this, Miranda said the band guitarist continued to play until he was asked by the doctor to stop to take a rest. The Parokya ni Edgar vocalist said they continued playing as they owe it to Chee Kee, but complications arose from his bandmate’s condition. Miranda said Chee Kee initially did not want to ask for assistance but was convinced by his family and other musicians.“Parokya and our friends from the music scene will be doing a series of fundraising gigs to help Gab out...most of which won't even be announced as fundraisers. Tahimik lang sila na tutulong,” he wrote.
