RATT’s Stephen Pearcy has revealed that he is currently recovering from knee surgery. This news comes three months after two disastrous shows in which the singer was slurring, forgetting words, sitting, slouching, etc. due to what was said to be an injured knee.
Almost a full week out of knee surgery, it’s been therapy right out of the box. Now I recall the beat down the first time. Eeeoooooch☠️ Only way to get back running on all cylinders. And I will☠️ on and off track. @theRATTpack Thanks for the support🙏 pic.twitter.com/8axBKnQSvq
It looks like a federal court has decided to dismiss the counterclaims from drummer Bobby Blotzer in the lawsuit regarding the ownership and use of the RATT name. Northern California Record are reporting that “a judgment was entered in favor of the rock band RATT’s general partnership in a trademark infringement lawsuit filed against WBS Inc. and original band member, partnership founding member and former WBS President Robert Blotzer.” You can read more about that HERE.
According to some fans that attended RATT’s October 5 show in St. Charles, Illinois, Stephen Pearcy gave another bad performance in which he was “stumbling” and couldn’t “remember the words” to various tracks. This news comes after the singer recently apologized for a disastrous show in Huntington, New York.
Went to the @ArcadaTheatre to see RATT. Band was awesome especially Jason on lead guitar as they tried to cover for Stephen Pearcy. Complete Poser – drunk, drugged out, stumbling and can’t remember the words. Kept walking off stage or sitting on drum riser. What a joke!! #rehabpic.twitter.com/JYmjW4fobs
Stephen Pearcy has issued an apology following his disastrous performance during RATT’s September 26 show at The Paramount in Huntington, NY. The singer was slurring, sitting, slouching, etc. throughout the concert due to what was said to be an injured knee.
Pearcy said the following:
“I want to apologize to RATT fans for last night’s performance and especially to those that were at the show.
I am dealing with a pain-management issue due to a bad knee that is scheduled to be replaced in January. And last night, I made the critical error of adding alcohol to my pain meds while on stage, and it destroyed my performance.
Again, there is no excuse for my behavior.
I sincerely apologize to RATT fans, my band, Live Nation, my friends, and family.”
Juan Croucier also addressed the situation during the show, telling the audience that Pearcy was in “a lot of pain” due to an injured knee. He also added:
“Let me just say something, all right? In case you guys didn’t notice, Mr. Stephen Pearcy is in a lot of pain. But tonight, we said there’s no way, there’s no way we’re canceling this show. Because we love you guys. We love each and every one of you, and thank you so much for coming down. We promise we’ll be back, without the injury, okay? Thank you so much for your understanding. We’re gonna keep going and do our best.”
@metalsludge Stephen Percy’s “knee” injury really carried over to his performance tonight! Hopefully his “knee” gets some attention ASAP! Thank god I was only at the show for Juan’s sweet moves or I would have been disappointed pic.twitter.com/aqyRxj0E89
RATT officially played their first show with their new lineup in Mulvane, Kansas on July 7. As previously reported, the group now features Stephen Pearcy and Juan Croucier, along with Pete Holmes (Black N’ Blue), Jordan Ziff (Razer), and Chris Sanders (Knight Fury).
