Your Steroid Resource

Today’s top bands and musicians come together to raise awareness about the improper use of steroids among their colleagues. Their campaign kicks off with a benefit concert for Urbanation’s lead singer Lance Bañaga tomorrow, Nov. 12 at 8 p.m. at Off the Grill in Timog, Quezon City.  

A few weeks ago, Lance almost died while confined at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a hospital due to pneumonia triggered by the breakdown of his immune system. Previously, Lance had been taking steroids to numb the pain in his throat; he overdosed on the steroids and this led to his hospitalization.  

Lance’s mother, movie line producer Jo-Ann Bañaga, says, “His fellow musicians were alarmed at this behavior which I think is a bit common among those working in the music industry; some of them really use steroids.”
