On November 4, Cheap Trick announced that guitarist Rick Nielsen would be sitting out the band’s shows “for the next week”, having undergone “a minor procedure”.
The band have issued the following update: “Six weeks ago Rick had a procedure that has required him to stay off the road until fully recovered. Unfortunately, Rick still needs a little bit more time and will not be out with us this week. Robin Taylor Zander will be moving to lead guitar for the next two shows. We appreciate the continued support.”
