The Stray Cats<\/a> have canceled their U.S. tour due to frontman Brian Setzer’s ongoing health issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Setzer and the band \u2014 who were scheduled to kick off their fall tour this past weekend and play through the end of November \u2014 took to social media to share the news with their fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m heartbroken to share, due to serious illness, I am unable to perform and very regrettably have to cancel our Stray Cats tour,” Setzer, 66, said in a statement posted on Instagram<\/a>. “I know this affects so many people and I am devastated to have to deliver this news. I\u2019ve been trying everything I can to go on and do these shows, but it is just not possible. I\u2019ve been looking forward so much to being on stage with my band mates again and playing for all of our amazing fans, and I\u2019m gutted.”<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to offer their support.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Your well being is the most important thing!” one fan commented. “You’ve given a lifetime of music to us! We got you!”<\/p>\n

“Please take care of yourself, your health is first!” another wrote. “Don\u2019t worry about us, we will support no matter what!”<\/p>\n

In a post to Instagram, Setzer shared close-up pictures of his hands playing guitar, explaining, “Towards the end of the last Stray Cats tour I noticed that my hands were cramping up. I\u2019ve since discovered that I have an auto-immune disease. I cannot play guitar<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

He continued, “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\u2019t even do that.”<\/p>\n

Setzer thanked the Mayo Clinic for working with him on treatment, writing, “Luckily, I have the best hospital in the world down the block from me.”<\/p>\n

“I know I will beat this, it will just take some time. I love you all,” he concluded.<\/p>\n

Setzer rose to fame in the 1980s with his band, The Stray Cats, playing 1950s-inspired rockabilly<\/u><\/a>. After the group disbanded in 1984, Setzer went solo and later formed the Brian Setzer Orchestra in the 1990s, a 17-piece big band ensemble.<\/p>\n

Setzer has regularly toured over the years, completing a run of shows last summer, and last released a solo album in 2023, “The Devil Always Collects.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
