Brian Setzer

These are projects that don't include the keyboardist's two main bands, the Allman Brothers and the Rolling Stones.

He says he couldn't button his pants, "let alone play guitar."

The band was scheduled to play more than 20 shows on its fall run.

The bandleader previously revealed an autoimmune disease that impeded his ability to play guitar.

"There is no pain," he says, "but it feels like I am wearing a pair of gloves when I try to play."

George Thorogood may drink alone, but this summer he's touring with Brian Setzer.
