The Sonic Youth co-founder Thurston Moore has cancelled his US book tour under medical advice, after revealing he is dealing with a “debilitating” and “longstanding” health condition.
The 65-year-old singer, guitarist and songwriter had been due to tour the US later this month to promote his candid new memoir, Sonic Life, charting his journey from teenage music fan in small-town Connecticut to the formation of his seminal experimental rock band in New York in 1981 with Kim Gordon and Lee Ranaldo, to his decades of creative endeavours.
