H.R. from Bad Brains talks to Rolling Stone about the excruciating headaches he suffers due to a rare head affliction. 'I have sharp, stabbing pains every couple of minutes in my brain for a couple of hours...'
H.R.’s mental condition is currently under delicate control with medication, but during times when he wouldn’t take his pills — Carns remembers a two-year period she calls “hell”— he’d act out. As a result, people who’ve met H.R. can have drastically varying opinions on who he is.
But that was only the beginning of his challenges. This past May, H.R. scrapped a solo tour due to his ongoing battle with SUNCT headaches, which only worsened the financial downturn he’s been navigating since his 2017 brain procedure. Worse still, that surgery was only moderately successful — at first, H.R.’s headaches became more infrequent and he says he lived pain-free for about a year. But slowly, the attacks returned.
“They basically wrote a new contract between Darryl and Dr. Know and Earl and H.R. I thought something was a little off about it so I was having an attorney look at it,” Carns says. “But they were offering a monetary advance, so while I was at work, H.R. just signed it and sent it off. He basically signed away the majority of his royalties.”
