While most people don’t exactly look forward to going under the knife, Skid Row guitarist Dave “Snake” Sabo isn’t among them.
Sabo, who’s scheduled to undergo a neck operation next week, says he’s actually “looking forward to it.”
He explains, “They’re doing disc-replacement surgery. I’ve got these really bad degenerative discs in my neck, and it causes nerve issues down both my arms. Oddly enough, I’m not nervous about it. I’m just looking forward to getting it done and moving on. And hopefully it won’t inhibit my playing ability any more than I already do.”
To give the guitarist “the proper time to heal,” Skid Row has postponed its December tour of Australia until May 2023, per the band’s website.
