Recently Thurston Moore, co-founder, of Sonic Youth Shared a few updates on his current medical condition that caused him to cancel his fall tour. He gave these updates on his health condition in a conversation he had with the New York Times that was published earlier this week.
Consequence States, “Thurston Moore has offered an update on the ‘debilitating’ health condition that forced him to cancel the book tour he had slated for this fall. Speaking in a new interview, the Sonic Youth co-founder said that he’s not too worried about the ailment, as ‘the prognosis is very good.’” … “Though Moore felt that he ‘could just power through it’ in order to embark on the tour promoting his new memoir, Sonic Life, doctors felt otherwise and advised him not to fly. Still, Moore isn’t overly stressed. He’s currently awaiting treatment, and told the Times that he ‘wasn’t too anxious.’ He has two dates booked in the UK next month to promote the book, which he’s still hoping to make happen (if you’re on that side of the pond, get your tickets here).”
Moore later stated, “This year, it became slightly concerning… I was finding myself at times to be so weak I could hardly walk around the neighborhood.”
Overall, it seems the condition could be worse. Seemingly on the road to recovery, we can only hope for a quick return to the touring scene from Moore and the rest of Sonic Youth. With all that being said this health condition seems to be a fairly serious one and it’s great Moore is getting the help he needs.
