Sadly, Kurt Kasinoff, Neil Young's Guitar Tech, is seriously ill.

via Steve Drymalski:

Here is an update on Kurt. Unfortunately, it is not the greatest news....

After a long fight with illness, Kurt Kasinoff, long time Neil Young, Paul Simon and Fleetwood Mac guitar tech, is currently in the hospital with acute liver failure. His prognosis is not positive. Kurt was admitted to a hospital on Saturday evening near his home in Albuquerque, NM after suffering from a fall resulting in a head injury. He is currently in the Critical Care Ward. Presbyterian Hospital
(505) [phone redacted]

Due to his condition, a transplant is not viable. 
 
Unfortunately, due to the pandemic related lack of work and the Live Music Industry shutdown, Kurt’s savings have been depleted and looking forward, he will require hospice care if he is discharged from the hospital. At this point Kurt’s life is being measured in days to weeks.
