Dead & Company Drummer Bill Kreutzmann Returns for End-of-Tour Run at Citi Field
Steve Bloom It’s been a summer tour of twists and turns for Dead & Company, who wrap it up tonight at Citi Field.Just 10 days ago, the band cancelled a show when John Mayer’s 94-year-old father had a medical emergency. Richard Mayer is out of the hospital and recovering.The state of original Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann has been a cause of concern as well. The 76-year-old band co-founder missed six consecutive shows until returning for last night’s Citi Field opener.“Well, friends, I was hoping to be back in the saddle already, but since I’m not quite there yet, I thought I’d tell you exactly what’s going on,” Kreutzmann commented at Facebook on July 11.
