Arthur Lee, leader of the seminal ’60s group Love, has recently been diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia. The band, particularly its 1967 masterpiece Forever Changes, has earned many famous fans over the years, and now some of them are joining forces to help Arthur - who, like far too many musicians, lacks health insurance. A benefit concert has been scheduled for June 23 at New York City’s Beacon Theater with such performers as Robert Plant, David Johansen, Ian Hunter, Yo La Tengo, Garland Jeffreys, and others, with a hometown show in the planning stages for Los Angeles.
