Maynard James Keenan has once again found himself forced to go under the knife. In a post shared tonight, August 26th, the enigmatic musician/entrepreneur revealed that he suffered an unexplained hip injury on July 03rd amid A Perfect Circle‘s European/UK tour. That injury left him forced to finish out that tour with chronic pain and the aid of a cane.
As it turns out, it would appear that Keenan, who earned a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2024, required another hip replacement. The 62-year-old previously underwent hip replacement surgery back in 2015.
Keenan said on social media today of his condition and his plans to honor all upcoming dates:
“Don’t be Lazy. Read the Whole Post. July 3rd, woke up Luxembourg on tour w @aperfectcircle. When I went to do my morning workout & hike, my left hip said No. Out of nowhere it just decided to not work. Had to finish the rest of the tour in pain w a cane. Followed by the frantic phone calls & emails to get to the bottom of it. Labrum Tear? Hip replacement? Sprain? I needed answers fast because I have s#!t to do. Many tours. Starting in Sep & all the way to Xmas, I’ll be performing roughly 27 shows in 18 different countries with 3 different bands.
Cancelling isn’t an option. People have purchased tickets and booked travel & lodging, most of which is probably nonrefundable. Hats off to the medical team in LA. When taking recovery into consideration, my cut off for a hip replacement would be Sept 1st. These wizards all aligned their wands & got me in on Aug 26th (Today. Right now). Phew. #doitfordolly #theshowmustgoon ewww. @queenbvinylcafe @queenbsushi @toolmusic @puscifer #bananas Thank you, @licoricelust for sticking with me & enduring this delicious hospital food.”
As Keenan noted above, he does indeed have an extensive spate of touring in store for the fall months, including shows with all three of his bands. That schedule can be seen below.
