Leeway vocalist, Eddie Sutton, has entered hospice care as he continues to fight against lung cancer. The musician disclosed his Stage 3 Adenocarcinoma diagnosis in 2021.
Towards the end of last month, he transitioned to a hospice center in the Long Island, NY area following his participation in a clinical trial. In a recent update earlier this week, he shared insights into his health status and outlook.
For those interested in donating to Sutton's GoFundMe can do so here.
Sutton shared the following:
I've now been in hospice care for about 6 days and I'm still trying to prove the professionals wrong and try to keep hope alive.
The problem is my appetite….as much as I want to eat and crave so many foods I just can't seem to swallow it or the smell becomes nauseating, to me.
It's quite a torture….try to imagine wanting to eat but your taste buds make it taste different or there's something in the food that makes you feel sick.
I have to rely on the same things; Ensure nutritional drinks and fruit cups to supplement whatever I can stomach and even that is minimal because my stomach muscle is so infantly small.
I'm still fighting folks I'm not stopping.

Post CommentNot a fan but nowadays who can't relate to this. You are the lion and the fox \m/
is this the guy from Madball? can't eat even if he is hungry, he is f*cked he needs to learn to let go and go out in peace
This sucks, but he's going to pass soon or any day now. Why give to his GoFund.
terribly sad. those first two leeway records are amazing, and i always liked his demo with merauder too.

Damn, I really liked what he did on that one Madball album too
You rotten keyboard cowards… Eddie is responsible for one the most influential HC/Crossover albums of all time. What have you done in your life besides post shit on this shitty site?
Hope he's able to beat the odds. Nobody deserves to deal with this.
Hoping for the best. I never got into Leeway. Thinking of him and his family.
Honestly never heard of this band once, and I've been on this site and in the scene nearly a quarter century
^ Colin young sites them as an influence and thats the best of the best.
Who the f*ck is Colin Young? I literally never heard of him either
I cant relate with this article. Who tf is running lambgoat anyways
Thumbnail pic looks like he's very to talk trash to Raphael
"Thumbnail pic looks like he's very to talk trash to Raphael" ...A JOSE CONSECO BAT??!
Headline: Leeway's Eddie Sutton to enter hospice care First sentence: has entered Next paragraph: entered last month. You are a moron, webby
I have been on this site since 2002. I am battling stage 4 pancreatic adenocarcinoma... yet I have no GoFundMe. I fight this shit with stoicism. Best of luck to dude, but I've accepted my fate, so should he. Todd Jones can help a bro out and make some more posts. That's all I want
"Honestly never heard of this band once, and I've been on this site and in the scene nearly a quarter century" You probably have, he did guest vocals for terror in so close to defeat. I haven't heard much leeway either but that is one of the best guest vocals I've heard
Jesus Christ why are there ads in the invididual comments. So disrespectful.
"I have been on this site since 2002. I am battling stage 4 pancreatic adenocarcinoma... yet I have no GoFundMe. I fight this shit with stoicism. Best of luck to dude, but I've accepted my fate, so should he." Holy shit really? Sorry brother. How much longer?
anonymous 12 hours ago Hope he's able to beat the odds. Nobody deserves to deal with this. Dude, he's in a hospice. It's over for him. I just hope he's able to live out his last days in peace
Post your Venmo and I'll send you $75 for a carton of smokes "I have been on this site since 2002. I am battling stage 4 pancreatic adenocarcinoma... yet I have no GoFundMe. I fight this shit with stoicism. Best of luck to dude, but I've accepted my fate, so should he."
anonymous 16 hours ago ^ Colin young sites them as an influence and thats the best of the best. The worst ever reason to listen to Leeway. Incredibly influential band, I hope this guy is somehow able to turn it around. Good on him for staying strong the whole way through.
^ I hear zero Leeway influence in Colin's shit. Hey Colin how 'bout you donate to Eddie the excess above the 50K you begged everyone for to get a new place to live you bum?
A truly tragic tale up until the end it seems. Hoping for the best given his current situation.
I finally quit smoking today because of this.
Respect for Eddie, singer for an awesome band.
Colin Cuck has such little talent he needs to eat pizza and nuggets on podcasts for scene points.
The sad finale for hc superstars. Broke with no Healthcare due to lifetime of gig work. Wishing him calm and no pain.
Time for those shitty grifters in YOTK to pay up ! Throw 100k out of that 300k over to Eddie ya bums.
The sad finale for hc superstars. Broke with no Healthcare due to lifetime of gig work. Wishing him calm and no pain. Eddie has Medicaid & Social Security albeit not much. He worked when he was healthy again albeit not much.
Sad to see people ignoring the reality of entering hospice care, itd be nice to miraculously do a 180 with the cancer, but tis just unrealistic. Too bad the band could never get over themselves and do a reunion before the passing of michael gibbons
