The Amazonian metalhead has a hard-worn reputation in the Australian music scene, most well-known as the vocalist for Sydney headbangers TOURETTES, and for probably being taller than you. A passionate performer and recluse, the #rollinswitharack recently revealed on Instagram that a deteriorating medical condition is putting her in dire straits.

Her boobs are out to kill her.

“The official terminology- “aggressive complex cystic masses”. While on the waiting list, I’ve gone up at least four cup sizes, and not in the fun way. I’ve now got the equivalent of two marble and gravel-filled holiday turkeys strapped to my chest. My spine is deteriorating as a result of the rapidly growing weight on my chest, with a growing list of complications that include compressed discs, thoracic strain that’s led to tendon tears, osteoarthritis in the vertebrae, and more. Between the debilitating pain on all fronts, as a result it’s meant I’ve been more bedbound than upright in the last year.

I can’t wait anymore, my treasured angels and divine dirtbags. I’ve been waiting a year. I’ve exhausted all my options and I’m tired of putting my life on hold. My only path forward now is to source a surgery privately, and of course, it’s not cheap.

I will be out of pocket around thirty thousand after the private surgery costs, hospital stay, theatre fees, rehabilitation post-surgery and the follow-ups.”
