According to Michael Vrionis, the president of Universal Tone Management the 74-year-old musician is “doing fantastic and is anxious to be back on stage soon.”

“I’m going to be taking time off for a little bit to make sure that I replenish and rest and I catch up with my health so that when I play for you, I play the way I’m used to and give you 150%,” he said in a video message. “I wouldn’t show up if I couldn’t do that.”
