Billy Talbot Will Miss European Tour

ROLLING STONE has reported that NEIL YOUNG AND CRAZY HORSE bassist BILLY TALBOT has suffered a mild stroke and will not be able to perform with the band on their upcoming EUROPEAN tour. A statement from the group said, "TALBOT's doctors expect him to make a full recovery. They have advised TALBOT to sit this tour out and recover his strength." YOUNG's longtime bassist RICK ROSAS will fill in for TALBOT on the tour.
