Journalist Survives Heart Attack at Bloodstock, GoFundMe Launched

I hope this post is ok with the mods. As the title says, Dom Lawson had a heart attack at a festival recently and is in hospital. He's written for many outlets including Metal Hammer and Loudwire.

He has been a huge supporter of BABYMETAL since at least Sonisphere, he got what they were about and loved it. His 2014 review of their first album is excellent. https://youtu.be/0xi0x-72zmA?si=Fz4Td9vVn_aq0Uze

I'm sure he'd appreciate any support from the fanbase while he recovers.
