Brian Setzer Unable To Play Guitar Because Of Disease…
Brian Setzer, vocalist and guitarist in The Stray Cats as well as an accomplished solo artist has announced the following regarding his diagnosis of an auto-immune disease:
Hi everybody,
I just wanted to check in with you all. Towards the end of the last Stray Cats tour I noticed that my hands were cramping up. I’ve since discovered that I have an auto-immune disease. I cannot play guitar. There is no pain, but it feels like I am wearing a pair of gloves when I try to play. I have seen some progress in that I can hold a pen and tie my shoes. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I was at a point where I couldn’t even do that. Luckily, I have the best hospital in the world down the block from me. It’s called the Mayo Clinic. I know I will beat this, it will just take some time.
I love you all,
Brian
Everyone at XS ROCK wishes Brian the best on his recovery and hoping to see him back on the road again soon!
