Singer Jeffrey Hatrix co-founded popular masked Cleveland metal act Mushroomhead in the early ’90s. Hatrix was with the group until 2018 when he exited over creative and management differences with drummer/producer Steve “Skinny” Felton.
Last year, Hatrix filed a lawsuit against Felton seeking back royalties. The suit was sadly preceded by the untimely passing of his wife Stacy, who died from cancer at just 38 years old back in April.
On Wednesday, Hatrix’s daughter Mea laughed a Gofundme campaign for her father, who has also been diagnosed with cancer. “My dad has recently been diagnosed with Cancer, just months after losing my mom to the same thing,” Mea wrote. “Due to this, he may have to stop working during his treatment. Anything means everything, Thank you.”
Hatrix shared his daughter’s post via his social media and added: “I really wanted to keep this to myself. I was diagnosed a couple months ago. It will be very hard to continue working with the treatment path I have chosen. Thank You for anything you can do to help. I know everyone is going through a lot.”
Back in November, Hatrix announced that he was preparing to start “a new project based on the same creative ideals that the project I co-founded was based around. Mushroomhead was always supposed to be about pushing creativity and the abstract to its limits. The earlier music reflected that. That’s what I’m bringing with the new project. If you’re a Mushroomhead fan, there will be enough there to scratch that itch. If you never liked Mushroomhead, it’ll be different enough that it may actually be something you can get into. We want this to have its own fingerprint.”
