Who was Goa Gil?
Gil grew up in San Rafael, California, where he was born in 1951. He was connected with the freak teams Sons of Champlin and Family Dog, he saw the rise of acid rock and the rise of the hippie movement. When he realized the end of the San Francisco music industry, he left in 1969 and traveled first to Amsterdam and then to India, where he eventually settled in Goa.
His life story, from a small artist in San Rafael, California, to a respected Sadhu in Goa, India, was as unique as his compositions for music.
What happened with Goa Gill?
Gil relocated to California in February of this year to receive high-grade B cell lymphoma treatment. He canceled his 2023 tour dates and began a four-and-a-half-month chemotherapy treatment.
His illness returned at a highly aggressive rate after two months of treatment in late June, according to a post on the GoFundMe website. Doctors could not resume chemotherapy or surgery due to additional health issues. Gil spent his final ten days at home in California, surrounded by those he loved.
