Rock royalty unite to help fight suicide and raise awareness for mental health
If anyone has listened to me for any amount of time on these airwaves knows, I take mental health very seriously and implore anyone dealing with suicidal thoughts, to seek the treatment options that are available. So anytime I find a story about rockers giving back to fight and raise funds for these causes, I have to share.
Billy Idol, Billy Howerdel (A Perfect Circle), Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses), Elliot Easton (The Cars), Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains), Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads/ Modern Lovers), Josh Freese (Foo Fighters), Mark McGrath (Sugar Ray), Steve Stevens (Billy Idol) and Tommy Henriksen & Glen Sobel (Alice Cooper, Hollywood Vampires) and more to be announced in the new year are taking part in the Above Ground 2025 music festival in Hollywood on January 25th.
Above Ground was founded in 2018 by Jane’s Addiction guitarist, Dave Navarro, and Billy Idol guitarist, Billy Morrison, to raise funds and awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.
