Billy Talbot, the bassist for Neil Young & Crazy Horse since the group formed in 1967, has suffered a stroke according to a press release. Talbot (above, center) is expected to make a full recovery, but his doctors have advised him to sit out the band’s upcoming tour dates in Europe and the Middle East, so Young’s former CSNY/Buffalo Springfield bandmate Rick Rosas will handle bass duties this time around.
