Skid Row’s Rachel Bolan has revealed that he recently underwent an appendectomy. As a result, the bassist was forced to miss the band’s January 29 show at the Showroom at Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, AZ.

Bolan said the following:

“Hey everyone. I’ve been getting a lot of DMs asking why I wasn’t playing at our recent show of the Live To Rock Tour in Scottsdale, AZ. Welp… last Monday evening I was rushed to the ER with appendicitis and had an appendectomy the next afternoon. Long story short, the surgeon (and a couple other doctors) said that I could under no circumstances play the show or fly. They were concerned about the 3 incisions as well as the possibility of blood clots on an airplane.

Everyone at St. Thomas midtown were incredible. @ascensionsaintthomas is the goods. I was in good hands from start to finish. And thankfully @leila_1plus was with me the whole time.

I feel incredible and I’m ready to get back at it.

I honestly don’t know what hurt worse, the appendicitis or missing a show.

Thanks to Robbie Crane for holding down the bottom end in my absence.

As you can see Lovey hasn’t left my side since I’ve been home. #heal #heal #rockandroll”
