Delica Black

Hopeless Heroic were well on their way to becoming one the UK’s most promising punk rock bands with critically acclaimed releases in 2009 and 2012, a growing fan base of die-hard fans and a record-breaking tour in 2012 before the band hit a tragic brick wall in the form of cancer. It was on their ‘200’ Tour in 2012, a tour that introduced bands such as Press to Meco and Fearless Vampire Killers to the touring scene, that their drummer David Knight suffered an unknown illness that was later diagnosed as a brain tumour. The band went on hiatus as Dai gallantly fought the destructive cancer to what looked like a tremendous victory that unfortunately turned out to be a short truce as earlier this year the horrible disease returned. Sadly, in April this year David passed away while being comforted by his family and partner.  The band have decided to perform one last show to say their final goodbyes to their beloved drummer and raise money for to David’s favourite charity ‘Shine Cancer Support’ who gave David support during his battle with cancer.
