After foot surgery to prepare for the stage and the necessity of pain management during the process, he has recently relapsed and voluntarily entered a treatment program to concentrate on his health and recovery,” the band wrote on Tuesday, revealing that they are canceling their Las Vegas residency dates through June and July.
“We are devastated that we have inconvenienced so many of you, especially our most loyal fans who often travel great distances to experience our shows. Thank you for your understanding and for your support for Steven during this time,” they added.

“There was a moment in ’88 where management and the band pulled an intervention on me,” he told Haute Living in 2019.
“They thought, ‘Get the lead singer sober, and all our problems would be over.’
“So I got sober and, you know, it took me many years to get over the anger of them sending me to rehab while they went on vacation. But today, because of that moment, I am grateful and owe a thanks to them for my sobriety.”
