The daughter of Harem Scarem drummer and Red Dragon Cartel frontman Darren James Smith revealed that her father had been diagnosed with early onset Dementia / Alzheimer’s

Daughter Statement
"Hello everyone, this is Keely, Darren’s daughter. I want to make everyone aware that my father has been diagnosed with early onset dementia/ Alzheimer’s. It’s coming on fast and I am aware of his strange behavior. I would like to apologize for any pictures/ videos that may have been sent from my father. He is not in his right mind. With that being said I am shutting down his social media. If anyone would like to reach out to me with concerns feel free! This is being handled and not ignored"

Band Statement
"As many of you are aware, Darren is dealing with issues at the moment. We are in close contact with him and will announce any update as he and his family are willing to share. As bandmates and friends, we fully support Darren, in the present as well as whatever his future holds, as I'm sure all of you do." - Team Scarem
