In the beginning of 2025 the Stray Cats vocalist and guitarist Brian Setzer revealed that he was unable to play the guitar due to an autoimmune disease he didn’t specify. According to him there was no pain but he felt like he was wearing a pair of gloves when he played and at the time he couldn't hold a pen or tie his own shoes. But now the musician is feeling better since Stray Cats announced a good amount of tour dates across the United States next October and November. Besides Setzer, the band is formed by Lee Rocker (Bass) and Slim Jim Phantom (Drums).
