Rick Nielsen will be missing a few Cheap Trick tour dates due to recently undergoing surgery.
In a brief statement from the band shared to social media, “A few days ago Rick had a minor procedure that requires him to stay off the road for this week and not travel. Robin Taylor Zander will be stepping up this weekend. We look forward to Rick rejoining the guys on the west coast later next week.”
