George Thorogood is back on the road after having to cancel a month of dates in the spring due to a “very serious medical condition.”
While not disclosing the nature of his ailment, he tells Dayton.com that he’s “doing well… I better be. The doctor signed off so we’re getting back out there. I had an issue that was of intense importance, so you have to sit, and you have to take a grip on your mortality or in most cases your lack of immortality. That comes first, just the idea that I have to get through that let alone then strap on a guitar and go out.”
Thorogood, who is 73, lost his wife of 34 years, Marla, to cancer in 2019.
His tour now heads to the West Coast starting Tuesday in Solana Beach, California.
