Billy Talbot, bassist with Neil Young & Crazy Horse, has suffered a mild stroke, according to a report on Rolling Stone.
The story reports that Talbot will sit out the band’s forthcoming European tour dates.
“Talbot’s doctors expect him to make a full recovery,” the group said in a statement. “They have advised Talbot to sit this tour out and recover his strength.”
Talbot’s place will be filled by Neil Young’s longtime bassist Rick Rosas.
Mahogany Blue’s Dorene Carter and YaDonna West will also join the tour, filling in for Talbot who also provided backing vocals.
The 70 year-old Talbot – who has not missed a single show with the group since their formation in 1968 – isn’t the first member of Crazy Horse to suffer health problems recently.
