Thurston Moore, founder of Sonic Youth, has announced the cancellation of the US presentation of his book ‘Sonic Life’. In a message, Moore revealed that he suffered from a “debilitating” health condition that had worsened in recent years and prevented him from traveling by plane.

“I am deeply saddened to inform you that I have received a recommendation from my medical team here in the UK to cancel my book tour in the United States,” Moore wrote. “Over the years, I dealt with ongoing health conditions, although they never stopped me from touring and recording. However, this problem has always been there and, as we enter middle age this year, it has become very debilitating. “After consulting with my doctors, they recommended that I not fly anywhere under any circumstances until they can resolve the issue.”

Moore, author of solo albums such as ‘By the Fire’ (2020) or ‘The Best Day’ (2015), confirmed that the cancellation of the presentation of his book “sad” him, as he has experienced it over the past few years. wrote and edited the book intensively, hoping to talk about it with his fans. Moore hopes to resume presenting his book in the near future, when his doctor gives him permission to travel by plane.

In the book, Moore recalls “his years as a music-obsessed teenager, the formation of Sonic Youth, and the 30 years of experimentation” that followed. ‘Sonic Life’ comes out on October 24. ‘The girl in the group’, the autobiography of her bandmate Kim Gordon, was released in 2015.
