Amid some lingering health issues with his lower back, the riff lord Kirk Windstein (Crowbar, Down) will be performing his upcoming run with sludge metallers Crowbar from a seated position. In a video update shared yesterday, August 05th, Windstein shared:
“Hey, this is Kirk Windstein from Crowbar here. Super excited for the upcoming Crowbar/Eyehategod co-headlining tour. It’s gonna be amazing.
A little quick bit of info. I have sought medical attention, both at the hospital and through my chiropractor, who I really love, and I either have, at the worst, a bad sciatica flare-up or potentially a ruptured disc in my lower spine. I don’t know either way, but, well, I don’t call in sick. I’m there to give y’all a hundred percent and please the fans the best I can.
So I’m probably gonna have to start this tour — which begins Thursday in Orlando — a sold-out show, by the way; thank you all — I’m probably gonna start this tour sitting down, but we’ll be singing and playing top-notch the best I can do. I just can’t walk right now, and that’s the truth. I’ve got a cane, I’ve got a walker, and it’s just… I’ve never had this kind of pain in my life. I’m 60-years-old, and I’ve never had this pain in my life. But anyway, I think positive; I don’t think negative. So it’s gonna be great, and we’re gonna kick ass every night. So thank y’all so much.
Get your tickets. Shows are selling out quickly. And let’s go rock with Crowbar and Eyehategod and do this thing. Thank you all.”
