The lead guitarist of punk band The Offspring, Noodles, announced today that he will be stepping away from touring due to a medical condition.

He released a statement detailing the situation:

The rest of the band has my back, is super supportive, and will keep rocking you all in my absence. I hope to be back on stage sooner rather than later. Until then, I will miss all of you with all of my heart. Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts. I really appreciate it.”
