Upon hearing the news that former GREAT WHITE drummer Audie Desbrow lost his home in the recent wildfire outbreaks that have been plaguing California, former QUIET RIOT drummer FRANKIE BANALI has offered his assistance in the tragedy. In an open letter to BW&BK, Banali states the following: "I've just heard the terrible news of Audie Desbrow's loss due to the Southern California fires. I have no way of knowing how to reach him, but if you do, please provide me with that information or give him my e-mail address (via my site www.frankiebanali.com). I will be happy to immediately provide him with one of my drum sets, cymbals, hardware and anything else that may be of help for as long as he may need it. The fires were quarter of a mile from my own home and I am grateful that we were spared but so sorry to hear of his loss as well as so many others. Thanks, Frankie Banali"
