Eric Bloom to miss some Blue Öyster Cult shows after surgery

Published on

Blue Öyster Cult guitarist and singer Eric Bloom announced that he will miss some shows on the band’s current tour after undergoing an undisclosed surgery. “During BÖC’s time off, I scheduled a non-life-threatening surgical procedure. I am on the mend, but the recovery is taking a little longer than expected. Kasim Sulton will be standing in for me for a few shows and will knock it out of the park! I’ll see you soon,” he said in a statement.

Sulton previously played with Blue Öyster Cult from 2012 to 2017 as their bassist. He is also known for being the singer and multi-instrumentalist of Utopia and has also collaborated with artists such as Joan Jett, Meat Loaf, The New Cars and Todd Rundgren.

Besides Bloom, Blue Öyster Cult is currently formed by Buck Dharma (Vocals and guitar – Since 1967), Danny Miranda (Bass – 1995 to 2004 and since 2017), Richie Castellano (Keyboards, guitar and vocals – Since 2004) and Jules Radino (Drums – Since 2004).

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
