Daevid Allen - Important news. - Progressive Rock Music Forum

My progressive friends, I have some very important news that concerns the Pothead Pixie himself:

*******

To all concerned Gong Global Family - Brace yourselves as we have some hard news for everyone. We will be straight up about this as we believe that everyone involved and all the Global Family deserves to know the direct truth of Daevid's changing health situation and to be part of the transformation the next sixth months will bring - There is a massive and very important opportunity for a positive collective transformation of everyone energetically and spiritually part of Gong.

So calling all Gong Gentle folk, Global psychedelic Gongheads, Gnomes, PHPs, Pixies and Travelers, musicians, artists and regular folk who have been with Gong over time to come join us in this conscious and powerful celebration - joint meditation and contemplation of Dying and Death : Time to Transform the Western Dominant and Taboo Death Paradigm.

* Now a word from the Mr Bert Dingo Virgin Camembert himself* or otherwise known as Dada Ali :

Hello you Kookaburras,

OK so I have had my PET-CAT scans (which is essentially a full body viewing gallery for cancer specialists) and so it is now confirmed that the invading cancer has returned to successfully establish dominant residency in my neck.

The original surgery took much of it out, but the cancer has now recreated itself with renewed vigour while also spreading to my lung. The cancer is now so well established that I have now been given approximately six months to live.

So My view has Changed:

I am not interested in endless surgical operations and in fact it has come as a relief to know that the end is in sight.

I am a great believer in "The Will of the Way Things Are" and I also believe that the time has come to stop resisting and denying and to surrender to the way it is.

I can only hope that during this journey, I have somehow contributed to the happiness in the lives of a few other fellow humans.

I believe I have done my best to heal, dear friends, and that you have been enormously helpful in supporting me through this time.

So Thank you SO much for being there with me, for the Ocean of Love and Now, importantly, Thankyou for starting the process of letting go of me, of mourning then transforming and celebrating this death coming up - this is how you can contribute, this would be a great gift from those emotionally and spiritually involved with me.

I love you and will be with you always - Daevidxxx
