No one likes seeing any of their favorite musicians on the “disabled list,” but here’s hoping these three rockers will be back at it soon!
Phil Anselmo
The prolific metal frontman is set to undergo back surgery tomorrow (January 31.) In a recent interview, Anselmo said, “I’m having a follow-up surgery that’s gonna nip something that has been nagging me for the last fucking decade in the bud, and damn it, once this last little kink is ironed out, I’ll feel a whole lot better, man. Which means a better me, [and] that means more work, more gigs, more ability to do gigs, and shit like that. So that’s always wonderful.”
Billy Corgan
The Smashing Pumpkins frontman shared a photo to Instagram from a recent stay at the hospital along with a caption that scared the hell out of some fans.
Realizing the tone that post set, Corgan followed it up with this charming ditty to reassure everyone he’s going to be okay, and we think he may have a hit on his hands.
Josh Rand
Finally, Stone Sour guitarist Josh Rand won’t be able to join his band on their upcoming North American tour. Per a statement, he’s checked into a treatment center for undisclosed reasons. Whatever that reason may be, we wish Rand well in his treatment, and we can’t wait to see him back on the road again.
