Walter Trout Announces London Lead Belly Fest Appearance And November Tour
Monday, 16 February 2015
Written by Jon Stickler
Walter Trout will perform at London's Lead Belly Fest this summer, followed by a 6-date tour in the winter.
Following a liver transplant and extensive rehabilitation, the bluesman will mark his return with an appearance at Lead Belly Fest at the Royal Albert Hall on June 15, before heading back later in the year for headline shows between November 17 and 25.
He comments:
"The last year has been one where the blues truly came calling, and I came face to face with death more than once. My wife moved me to Nebraska to improve my chances of getting a life-saving liver transplant, and after a long wait, I got my new liver on May 26th, 2014. Since then I have been filled with immense gratitude. Gratitude for the fans who supported me via fundraisers, cards, messages, thoughts and prayers, for the donor and his or her family, for medical science, for my family, and for life itself. Everything matters more to me now. Now, 7 months after my transplant I feel like a new man. I have strength and energy. In some ways I feel like I am in my 20’s again! The past couple of years of playing I was getting dizzy spells, severe cramps in my hand and forearm and played many shows in severe pain. It turns out that was a result of my deteriorating liver. That is gone now! I am able to play better than I have in years. I feel reborn. I cannot wait to get back out on the road again and do what I love to do for my fans. The future looks great!”
Tickets for the new tour are on sale at 9am on February 20, priced at £25.00 plus fees.
