Former HANOI ROCKS wildchild MICHAEL MONROE just pulled the plug on his upcoming U.S. tour as BUCKCHERRY’s sidekick. Turns out, surviving the ‘80s glam-punk scene was easy compared to keeping his knees intact. Who knew?
Earlier today (Tuesday, August 26), MICHAEL’s social media dropped this vibe: “Unfortunately, MICHAEL MONROE will be unable to join BUCKCHERRY on tour next month as planned. MICHAEL is recovering from a ruptured meniscus and, on medical advice, has been instructed to refrain from touring for the next three months to ensure proper healing and to avoid long-term damage. We had an amazing time on our American tour in April and we are truly disappointed that we won’t be able to come back as planned. Anyone who purchased VIP experiences will be refunded. We look forward to returning to the USA in 2026.”
BUCKCHERRY, meanwhile, shrugged and shouted: “Due to an unexpected immediate knee surgery, MICHAEL MONROE will be unable to perform as the direct support act on the BUCKCHERRY fall tour of the U.S from September 21 through October 25. Replacing MICHAEL will be Atlanta based rockers NASHVILLE PUSSY! DREW CAGLE & THE REPUTATION open all shows EXCEPT at The Whisky A Go Go where THE VIOLENT HOUR featuring ex BUTCHER BABIES vocalist CARLA HARVEY will open. The shows from October 26 through November 7 will feature EVA UNDER FIRE as direct support. Get your tickets + VIP Upgrades at buckcherry.com. Wishing MICHAEL the best during his recovery and look forward to seeing YOU at the Rock Show!”
