Brian Setser, the guitar legend from Stray Cats, has overcome a tough autoimmune disease

that left him unable to play or handle simple tasks.

Last year, he shared how the condition hit his nerves hard, freezing his hands and feet

in pain.

He even turned to create him for relief, but that led to addiction.

Treatment started at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where doctors finally pinpointed

the issue.

Setser worked step-by-step to regain control, first gripping a guitar pick, then finger-picking

again.

Meanwhile, he tackled the cradum habit at the Hazelden Betty Ford Clinic in Minnesota.

Fans felt the impact when Stray Cats announced a 2025 tour and then had the cancel due to

his health struggles.

Setser's story highlights how even rock stars face everyday frustrations like struggling

to button pants or brush teeth.

Now fully recovered, Setser is back on stage with bassist Lee Rocker and drummer Slim

Jim Phantom.

They kick off 16 shows in late July and run through August.

With fresh energy and no more dependencies, Stray Cats are ready to rock crowds again

this summer.
