Bob Seger is pleased to report that his recovery from surgery last month is progressing very well. The surgery interrupted Seger’s highly successful Runaway Train Tour – putting it on hold after 13 consecutive sold out shows. Rescheduled dates are being mapped out for a coast to coast reboot of the tour this Spring. Live Nation will have more details in the coming weeks.
