PINELLAS COUNTY - Local musician J.D.Early has been diagnosed with a benign large mass inside his head on that is attached to his pituitary gland and requires surgery.
According to fellow musician Tony Thomas and friend Johanna Fath Early's condition has caused him severe migraines and trouble with his vision.

Early's friends are seeking donations to help Early and his family "get through this challenge." His friends also are asking that people keep Early in their prayers.
