He continued: âWhile the surgery and recovery has been successful, thus far, unfortunately Iâm dealing with continued health issues â and will have to stay off the road for the time being.â
Now, according to a new report from his reps (as per Rolling Stone), his recovery is progressing well.

Interpol guitarist Daniel Kessler spoke to NME in March about the legacy of their second album, sharing: ââBright Lightsâ was our first record, so we had a tiny budget and a small amount of time in the studio and had to make a very âliveâ record. That record was really how the band sounded on stage at that moment. We just wanted to do that justice.â
âWe were focused on that and being reasonable with what we could accomplish. For âAnticsâ, we had the experience of having made a record and then toured for two years. When we came out of that, we wanted to make the studio work for us a bit more and get more out of the songs. There are more textures and the songs really hold you in the moment a little bit more.â
Additionally, Interpol opened for Smashing Pumpkins in Europe this summer. âWe did some shows with them last year and they were a lot of fun,â Kessler told NME.
âWe really try to feel it out each night per situation. I saw Smashing Pumpkins play when I was in high school, so itâs really great to be playing with them.â
The guitarist also shared an update on new music, saying: âWeâre writing a lot this year and we donât have any specific recording plans, but weâre working on it in between all this touring.
âItâs a little too early [to reveal how it sounds] but itâs exciting, thatâs for sure.â
In other news, Interpol recently added more gigs to their 2024 âAnticsâ 20th-anniversary tour.
