A letter to our famoe.ly ❤️
Due to unforeseen circumstances, moe. will be going on indefinite hiatus effective August 1st, 2017.
We will play our remaining 2 shows in July (7/21 NYC, 7/28 Huckleberry Jam), as well as our Lockn' Festival appearance with Phil Lesh. Other than these 3 shows, we will be closing our doors until further notice.
More info for the Summer Tour with Railroad Earth will be forthcoming in the next few days. Please give us some time to sort out the details.
Thank you all for your love & support.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We look forward to seeing you down the road.
Love,
Rob, Chuck, Al, Jim, & Vinnie

A letter from Rob:
Early last week I was diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer. Although I'd known something wasn't quite right for a while, I wasn't expecting to get this news. The prognosis is good, and the survival rate is high. Unfortunately the treatment will be rough on my body, and my voice. I will be out of commission for the foreseeable future, which means, moe. will be going on an unplanned hiatus. My treatments will begin in early August, and I will not be available for our planned summer tour. I'm very happy that we, as a band and a fan base, were able to successfully bring moe.down back this Summer and I thank you all for your support. My love for our music, my band mates, our crew, and all of you continually grows and I hope to be back on stage doing what I love to do sometime soon. Until then, know that I'm in good hands, and I'm forever grateful for all of your support.
Your Pal,
Rob

Keith, you didn't offend me at all and I could care less whether one likes or dislikes something that I or others do. I just don't see why someone would feel the need to add such a comment when wishing another thoughts of recovery.

Is Rob the other guitar player?
Wouldn't he be relatively young?
I hope his insurance is good, and good luck to him.

Rob is their bassist.
Rob Derhak is the bassist for moe.
His playing certainly influenced me when I was new to the instrument

Aww.
Aww.
I guess from an outsiders perspective it makes no difference which member is sick, sick is sick and it sucks for anyone but that's life... but as someone who was never a fan of the band I always liked him the most.
I hope he fights and makes it through this life challenge.
On it goes.
And BTW, I'm always very impressed when there is no consideration for a group to replace a member in this type of situation and continue on. Money is money and we all need to make it and have a career to build a comfortable life, so I understand the pressures. It's cool they're not doing that.
Good Moe.
I like them a little better now.

Fuck cancer. Hope the outlook is as positive as Rob makes it sound. That disease will kick anyones ass and this is horrible horrible news. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy let alone a band I didn't like.
I always like his intro to Other one....
