The Offspring guitarist Noodles is stepping away from live performances for a while to deal with what he called "a sudden and fairly serious health issue."
In a statement shared on The Offspring's social channels today, Noodles said the rest of the band "has my back" and will keep playing in his absence. He did not share details about his condition, and said he hopes to be back on stage "sooner rather than later."
The Offspring play The Wiltern in Los Angeles on October 24, followed by SEMA Fest in Las Vegas on November 6 and Corona Capital in Mexico City on November 21.
