Guitarist Robin Trower has canceled his fall U.S. tour due to health issues. The 79-year-old Trower announced the decision on his Facebook page through the following statement.
“It is with great regret that I must inform you that I will be unable to fulfil the upcoming tour of the USA in September/October.
I have struggled with health issues for some time now. Following my latest stay in hospital a few weeks ago, my doctor advised me that the only possible way for an effective long-term solution is to undertake a major operation as soon as possible.
I am currently awaiting confirmation of that date. I have also been advised that the recovery time to 100% full fitness could take a while. This makes committing to a fixed touring period in the near future impossible. I have struggled with this decision but realize I cannot continue touring at this time.
I know that you will be as disappointed as I am, but I am very hopeful that this procedure will give me a new lease of life and I can return to doing what I love the most- playing live ASAP. I look forward to catching up with you all as soon as I am able.”
