Michael Guglielmucci

It was reported in 2008 that Michael Guglielmucci, a pastor at the church and former bass player in the Planetshakers band, had fraudulently claimed he was dying of cancer, [8] [9] and received money from supporters who believed his illness was real. [10] He wrote "Healer", a song of encouragement for believers who were suffering from cancer, for the album Saviour of the World, which was released in June (2007). [11] Guglielmucci explained his actions as being a result of a long-term pornography addiction. [12] The track had also been added to the Hillsong album This Is Our God (2008), [13] but later removed from the album. [14]
