<p>After facing a challenging year, <strong>Brian Setzer</strong>, the frontman of <strong>Stray Cats</strong>, announced “The Cats are Back” summer tour on Monday. The ambitious 16-date tour begins on July 24 at <strong>The Chelsea</strong> at <strong>The Cosmopolitan.</strong></p>
<p>Tickets will be available starting at 10 a.m. on Friday, March 13, through Ticketmaster, with an artist presale kicking off at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, March 10.</p>
<p>In February 2025, Setzer disclosed his diagnosis of an undisclosed autoimmune condition impacting his hands.</p>
<p>“I am unable to play guitar,” he shared on social media. “It doesn't hurt, but it feels as if I'm wearing gloves when I try to perform.”</p>
<p>Following about a year of therapy at the Mayo Clinic, Setzer and the band had plans for a 21-date comeback tour, which had to be canceled just before its start on Oct. 25, 2025, at the Soaring Eagle Casino &amp; Resort in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.</p>
<p>However, a recent press release states that after an additional six months of intensive therapy, Setzer has made a strong recovery.</p>
<p>“I’m delighted to be back to health and vitality,” he remarked, though he chose not to elaborate on his condition or his recovery assurance.</p>
<p>On February 9, a Long Island guitar shop posted a video on Facebook featuring Setzer showcasing some Carl Perkins-inspired riffs. While he sounded impressive, his performance was brief, seated, and didn’t exhibit the rapid pace he was once famous for.</p>
