Rudy Sarzo says that Frankie Banali is a “fighter” who is always “looking out after everybody” else.

About his relationship with Frankie, Rudy said:

“He’s a fighter. Oh my God… Frankie… Since 1972, we’ve been playing together, and he’s always been looking out for the band, for us.

“You know what? I’ve never seen him in a situation where he just looks out for himself — never,” he continued.

“As a matter of fact, still, as he’s fighting for his life, he’s still looking out after everybody — everybody close to him. That’s the way he is… He’s a fighter. He ain’t going down. [Laughs]”
