As the trip reached its end, he says, “my hands were cramping up.” “I’ve since discovered that I have an autoimmune disease,” Setzer writes on social media. “I cannot play guitar. There is no pain, but it feels like I am wearing a pair of gloves when I try to play.”

Eagles' former guitarist Don Felder suffered a shock medical emergency onstage and had to be rushed for medical treatment Thursday. The iconic musician, 77, was playing the band's hit Tequila Sunrise on the Rock Legends cruise when he abruptly stopped strumming and stared offstage. Appearing unsteady on his feet, a crew member rushed on and cradled Felder as he attempted to speak into the microphone. Visibly swaying, he was quickly escorted offstage with his bandmates as the crowd shouted support. The star's team shared an update Friday revealing Felder had been suffering from dehydration and was feeling 'much better' after getting medical attention on the cruise, which sails between Miami and CocoCay, Bahamas.

Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor ‘fighting cancer as hard as he can’
February 14, 2025
Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor is “fighting as hard as he can” as he continues treatment for cancer , his bandmates have said, as they addressed his absence at the Sanremo Music Festival in Italy. The musician, 63, revealed in 2022 that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018. The following year he said his cancer was “asymptomatic”, having previously been told he needed “palliative, end-of-life care”. Speaking at a press conference at Sanremo, frontman Simon Le Bon told attendees that Taylor’s cancer was “very late, fourth-stage metastasised cancer”. Taylor said two symptoms alerted him that something was wrong: bone pain while jogging, which he almost mistook for arthritis after his years of live performances, and erectile dysfunction, which was masked by his use of Viagra.
Much credit to Eric Clapton, a few years back, for "connecting the clots."
