George Thorogood & the Destroyers Cancelled Shows in 2023
Ultimate Classic Rock reported that George Thorogood and the Destroyers cancelled shows from the band's 50th anniversary tour because of unnamed issues with Thorogood's health. In an April 2023 social media statement, the band let their fans know, "With great sadness, we must announce the cancellation of our Canadian and U.S. tour dates from April 27, 2023, through May 21, 2023."
“George has been diagnosed with a very serious medical condition that will require immediate surgery and quite a few weeks of recuperation and healing," continued the statement.
In an August 2024 interview with Desert Sun, Thorogood opened up about turning 75 years old.
“If you’re still breathing and urinating without pain, it’s a good day. Today’s a great day, and if I’m still here tomorrow it will be an even greater day," said the "Bad to the Bone" singer to the publication.
In addition, he told the Desert Sun that he's aware fans want to hear the band's most popular songs, like "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" and "I Drink Alone," during their concerts.
"We’re like a restaurant with a menu, and if something on it appeals to people and they keep coming back for it, we keep that thing on the menu, but we might add something new to it. But it’s never been about writing a song because I’m heartbroken, my wife left me, or because my father passed away. There’s nothing personal about it," said Thorogood during the 2024 interview.
