This is big news for Melvins, as their fall 2023 tour saw drummer Dale Crover sitting out the round of dates due to emergency spinal surgery. The band said on socials:
“Melvins dedicate Twins Of Evil tour to Dale Crover as he prepares for spinal surgery.
“We are sad to announce that literally days before leaving on tour, our drummer Dale Crover learned he needed immediate emergency spinal surgery which will take him out of commission for months. He’s doing as well as can be expected considering the severity of the situation.
“The one stroke of luck in all this was that Coady Willis part of the Melvins’ family for 8+ years, who literally trained in sitting by Dale’s side on too many tours to count is able to step in and take over on drums.
“With Mr. Phylzzz already on the road heading to L.A. from Chicago and Boris flying in from Japan, we all felt we needed to support dale and the other bands on the bill, as well as the ticket holders, by continuing with the tour as scheduled. We ask everyone’s solidarity during this dark time. Obviously, our primary concern right now is Dale’s health, and we’re doing everything possible on our end to make sure he gets what he needs to make a full recovery.”
We’re assuming Crover will be back in the ranks to tour in March, and look forward to watching them crush through the southern hemisphere.
