Thurston Moorelegendary musician and writer who co-founded the alternative rock band Sonic Youth, recently shared some details about his health and future plans. In an interview with the New York Times, Moore revealed that he suffered from atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder that causes palpitations, fatigue and difficulty breathing. This condition prevented him from traveling by plane and forced him to cancel his tour of the United States, where he was to present his book. Sonic Lifea work that collects his reflections on music, poetry and culture.

Moore explained that the disease is caused by a genetic problem and that he is seeking appropriate treatment, but for now, “my medical team in the UK has advised me to cancel my upcoming book tour in the United States. It has always been an underlying problem, but now that I am in my mid-sixties, it has become very debilitating and consistent. “After a recent consultation, my doctor strongly advised me not to fly anywhere under any circumstances until they sorted everything out.”

• Another topic Moore discussed was the possibility of a meeting Sonic Youththe band he formed in 1981 with Kim Gordon, Lee Ranaldo And Steve Shelley, and who split in 2011 following Moore and Gordon’s divorce. The musician admitted that the current situation is “a little complicated” and that it is likely that the group will not play together again. However, he did not rule out the possibility and assured that the possibility would always exist.

We hope he recovers soon and can continue his tour.
