Secretly Canadian musician Richard Swift has been in hospital receiving "excellent care", but is lacking insurance. A fundraiser has been launched to help with costs.
Richard Swift's Facebook page revealed yesterday (19 June) that the musician has been in hospital "due to a serious medical condition".
The multi-instrumentalist and former Shins member is without medical insurance, but has been recovering in Tacoma Washington with "excellent care".

One of my best friends is in deep need. He’s been hospitalized for a few wks. He is w/o insurance. I’m hopeful he will come thru, but there is uncertainty. He’s fighting v hard. If u know him or his art, u know he believes in beauty & the ineffable. https://t.co/SgVTZg8gBv
