The Amazing Snakeheads’ Dale Barclay reportedly dead at 32

In July Dale Barclay launched a fundraiser to help with his brain cancer treatment.

The Amazing Snakeheads and And Yet It Moves member Dale Barclay has reportedly passed away at 32.

Despite there being no official statement yet, collaborators and fellow musicians have been sharing the news widely on social media.

Back in July, Barclay launched a fundraiser to help with his medical bills. He explained, "I have grade 4 Glioblastoma brain cancer, diagnosed December 2017. I have had one craniotomy which removed 90% of the initial tumour. After that, I did 6 weeks of radiotherapy and 6 months of a clinical trial alongside chemotherapy. My tumour has two mutations which make it rarer than average (had to be!). The cancer has returned. The fight continues with the power to face it raging in me."

He was aiming to raise £100,000, and managed to raise nearly £50,000 before his passing.

The Amazing Snakeheads only dished out one album before splitting in 2015, which was 2014's Amphetamine Ballads.
