Joan Jett Cancels Shows as Rocker Is Unable to Perform After Surgery for Back Injury
Jett’s team said she is focusing on physical therapy and healing after surgery on a fractured vertebra, and two September concerts were canceled.
- On Wednesday, August 5, rock icon Joan Jett announced the cancellation of two September concerts following orthopedic surgery for a fractured vertebrae affecting her spine.
- After sustaining the spinal injury, Jett made the decision 'in close consultation with her doctors.' According to the Cleveland Clinic, a fractured vertebrae involves a break in one of the 33 bones of the spinal column.
- The rocker recently finished a European tour, marking her first headline run across the pond in 16 years. In a June interview, Jett noted that traveling is 'an ass-kicker' as she ages, making recuperation harder than in her 20s.
- Jett paid tribute to longtime drummer Thommy Price, who died, writing on Instagram that 'Thommy was a legendary drummer who was a Blackheart for four decades.' Price served The Blackhearts from 1987 until 2017.
- Other musicians face similar health challenges; Pink, 46, previously underwent neck surgery, saying 'rock n roll is a contact sport.' Jett looks forward to delivering 'tremendous concerts for many years to come' following her recovery.
