Victor Bailey health problems

[SICbass]

It seems that Victor Bailey has had serious health problems over many years which are currently preventing him from playing. Very sad but there may be some hope.

Yeah I follow Steve Bailey's posts along with some of the other Berklee guys - very sad

Sad news alright. Here's wishing you well, Victor.

He's in a hospice now. Very sad.

God bless you Victor

I had the good fortune to meet him a few years back and he is a great guy, full of humour and , as you see from the link, a pleasure to talk to. His signature fender bass is the only one I've ever tried so far that I would consider buying.
It's a real shame that he has had to encounter also problems with health insurance company not covering some of his treatment and therapies and as a result has had friends raising money to help.

Sad to see such an amazing musician in this way.

One of my favourite bass players. I remember the first time I heard hiss album Low Blow. Awsome playing. I really hope he's better soon.
