Supporting Benjamin “Verse” Mount Through His Battle with Leukemia
Friends and family of former Pendulum vocalist and MC, Benjamin “Verse” Mount, have come together to support him in his fight against leukemia through a GoFundMe campaign. The campaign has exceeded its initial target of £20,000 and has currently raised over £58,000. This initiative was launched by Mount’s brother Jeremy in response to a series of health crises that began last year, ultimately leading to a diagnosis of acute monoblastic leukemia.
A Journey Filled with Challenges
Mount, known for his performances on Pendulum’s live tours, was initially hospitalized in Spain for what was suspected to be tuberculosis. However, further investigations revealed a rare infection that required him to be placed in a medically induced coma. The infection rapidly evolved, necessitating urgent efforts from medical teams worldwide to find suitable treatments.
After overcoming this initial health scare, Mount faced yet another obstacle in the form of acute monoblastic leukemia. He has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment for over four months now, as he continues his battle against this aggressive form of cancer.
Addressing the Financial Burden
The GoFundMe campaign set up by Mount’s family seeks to alleviate the financial strain caused by his prolonged hospitalization and treatment. The funds raised will cover expenses related to nursing care, childcare for his young daughters, and mobility aids to support his recovery journey until he can return to the stage.
A Creative Spirit Unbroken
Despite the challenges he faces, Mount has not let his health issues dampen his creative spirit. After parting ways with Pendulum in 2017 to focus on his solo work, he recently released a new track titled “Recovery,” featuring Youngsta and Cimm. This release showcases his unwavering dedication to his craft, even in the face of adversity.
