LOS ANGELES, CA  [Wednesday Aug.18.2004]  /WMQT.com/ -- Maroon 5 drummer Ryan Dusick met up with MTV recently and revealed the group is planning a special fundraiser show in Los Angeles to help an ailing friend.

Dusick said the band will play a benefit show on September 23 at the Troubadour. He told MTV, "We have a friend who recently just had a freak aneurysm in his brain and he's been in the hospital...We're raising some money to support him."

Dusick hopes that by the time that shows happens, he'll be able to resume his Maroon 5 drumming duties. Dusick's been sidelined for several months due to a trapped nerve in his shoulder. Gavin DeGraw's drummer, Matt Flynn, is currently filling in.
