The band answered the speculation itself乐队自己回应了外界猜测
Cheap Trick posted a group statement on its social media channels after quietly pulling 2027 dates, and Rolling Stone quotes it in full. “Many thanks to everyone who has expressed concern for us,” the band wrote. “To clear things up, we've decided to take some time off after decades of touring because we need a break. Not for health reasons. We'll play our November shows and then take our first break in 50 years. Thank you for all your support!” Blabbermouth says the statement was released on Thursday, Oct. 29, in response to news reports and fan speculation.Cheap Trick 在悄然撤下2027年场次后,在社交媒体上发布了一份集体声明,Rolling Stone全文引述。“Many thanks to everyone who has expressed concern for us,”乐队写道。“To clear things up, we've decided to take some time off after decades of touring because we need a break. Not for health reasons. We'll play our November shows and then take our first break in 50 years. Thank you for all your support!”Blabbermouth称,这份声明于10月29日周四发布,是对新闻报道与歌迷猜测的回应。
The statement answers one question and leaves the rest open. It gives no date for a return, no reason beyond needing a break, no word on recording and no list of the dates involved. Both reports treat the pause as the band's own decision, and neither adds a cause the band did not give. Blabbermouth notes that a venue had already used similar wording earlier in the month, describing “an unspecified amount of time off” in a statement it attributed to the band.这份声明回答了一个问题,其余都留着空白。它没有给出恢复巡演的日期,没有在“需要休息”之外说明原因,没有提到录音计划,也没有列出涉及哪些场次。两篇报道都把这次暂停写成乐队自己的决定,都没有补充乐队未给出的理由。Blabbermouth 指出,本月早些时候已有场馆使用过类似措辞,在一份归于乐队名下的声明里写到“an unspecified amount of time off”。
The two reports count the cancellations differently两篇报道对取消规模的说法不同
The reports describe the cancellations at different scales. Rolling Stone says the band quietly cancelled all of their 2027 shows earlier this week, while the 10 dates booked in November go forward as planned. Blabbermouth says the band pulled out of several concerts booked for 2027 and that its current 2026 run, resuming Nov. 5 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, is not affected. Neither report lists the 2027 dates or says how many were booked, so all and several cannot be checked against each other from these two texts.两篇报道描述的取消规模并不一致。Rolling Stone 说乐队本周早些时候悄然取消了2027年的全部演出,而11月已排定的10场照常进行。Blabbermouth 说乐队退出了2027年已订的数场演出,目前这轮2026年巡演不受影响,将于11月5日在印第安纳州 Fort Wayne 继续。两篇报道都没有列出2027年的具体场次,也没有说明原本订了多少场,因此“全部”与“数场”这两种说法无法用这两篇文本互相核对。
Blabbermouth traces the first public signal to a venue rather than the band. Earlier this month, Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort shared a statement it attributed to Cheap Trick explaining a cancelled Feb. 13 date: “After many years of touring, and a much-needed break, CHEAP TRICK has decided to take an unspecified amount of time off, therefore this event has unfortunately been canceled.” That statement circulated before the band's own post, and Feb. 13 is the only specific cancelled date either report names.Blabbermouth 把最早的公开信号追溯到场馆方,而不是乐队。本月早些时候,Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort 发布了一份它归于 Cheap Trick 的声明,解释2月13日场次取消:“After many years of touring, and a much-needed break, CHEAP TRICK has decided to take an unspecified amount of time off, therefore this event has unfortunately been canceled.”这份声明早于乐队自己的贴文,而2月13日也是两篇报道中唯一被点明的具体取消场次。
The concern centred on Rick Nielsen外界担心的是 Rick Nielsen
The alarm was about the guitarist. Rolling Stone reports that last month Rick Nielsen, who suffers from COPD and asthma, had to briefly leave the stage during a show at Riveredge Park in Aurora, Illinois, because of breathing troubles. Blabbermouth says he left after experiencing trouble breathing and returned to finish the show seated, and that the incident fueled speculation online about his health.引发不安的是吉他手。Rolling Stone 报道,上个月 Rick Nielsen 在伊利诺伊州 Aurora 的 Riveredge Park 演出时因呼吸问题不得不短暂离台;他患有慢阻肺与哮喘。Blabbermouth 说他因呼吸困难离台,随后回到台上坐着弹完整场,这一插曲在网上引发了对他是健康状况的猜测。
Nielsen addressed it himself. Rolling Stone reports that a few weeks later he announced he was cancer-free at the Pinktober event at Hard Rock Casino Rockford, Illinois: “Let everybody know I took an MRI last week. I have no cancer, so that's good news.” Blabbermouth attributes the same remarks to an interview with Nexstar's WTVO and adds that in June the band cancelled or postponed several concerts because of what it called “circumstances beyond our control.”Nielsen 本人回应了这件事。Rolling Stone 报道,几周后他在伊利诺伊州 Rockford 的 Hard Rock Casino 举办的 Pinktober 活动上宣布自己已无癌症:“Let everybody know I took an MRI last week. I have no cancer, so that's good news.”Blabbermouth 把同一番话归于 Nexstar 旗下 WTVO 的采访,并补充今年6月乐队曾以“circumstances beyond our control”为由取消或推迟数场演出。
The 50-year claim checks out“50年”这个说法站得住
Rolling Stone tests the 50-year claim and finds it is not an exaggeration. The original lineup of Robin Zander, Rick Nielsen, Tom Petersson and Bun E. Carlos stayed intact from the band's formation in 1973 until 2010, apart from 1980 to 1987, when Petersson briefly stepped aside. In 2010 the band had what the report calls a rather bitter split with Carlos and replaced him with Nielsen's son, Daxx Nielsen.Rolling Stone 核查了“50年”这个说法,结论是并不夸张。由 Robin Zander、Rick Nielsen、Tom Petersson 与 Bun E. Carlos 组成的原始阵容,从1973年成军一直保持到2010年,只有1980年至1987年 Petersson 短暂离开。2010年,乐队与 Carlos 经历了报道所说的相当不愉快的分手,由 Nielsen 的儿子 Daxx Nielsen 接任鼓手。
In 2016 Zander's son, Robin Taylor Zander, joined on rhythm guitar, and he has also played lead guitar, drums and bass when other members missed gigs. In 2022 he substituted for Rick Nielsen when the guitarist left briefly for what was described as a “minor procedure.” “If anyone knows about this band, they know that a lot of the personality is through Rick,” he told Rolling Stone that year. “He's the main entertainer.”2016年,Zander 的儿子 Robin Taylor Zander 以节奏吉他手身份加入,此后在其他成员缺席时也弹过主音吉他、打鼓和弹贝斯。2022年,Rick Nielsen 因一次“minor procedure”短暂离队,由他顶替。“If anyone knows about this band, they know that a lot of the personality is through Rick,”他当年对 Rolling Stone 说。“He's the main entertainer.”
Where the tour stands now巡演目前停在哪里
Rolling Stone records the current itinerary. Cheap Trick last performed Oct. 9 at the VyStar Pavilion in Savannah, Georgia, with a set mixing “Dream Police,” “I Want You to Want Me” and “Surrender” with deeper cuts such as “High Roller” and “Big Eyes.” The band is next booked for Nov. 5 at the Clyde Theatre in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the 10-show run is due to end Nov. 22 at the Sound Board Theater in Detroit, Michigan.Rolling Stone 记录了当前的行程。Cheap Trick 最近一次演出是10月9日在佐治亚州 Savannah 的 VyStar Pavilion,曲目既有《Dream Police》《I Want You to Want Me》《Surrender》等经典,也有《High Roller》《Big Eyes》这类冷门曲。乐队下一场定于11月5日在印第安纳州 Fort Wayne 的 Clyde Theatre,这轮10场演出将于11月22日在密歇根州 Detroit 的 Sound Board Theater 收尾。
The report adds that there is no way to know when the hiatus will end. Blabbermouth describes the current lineup as three original members, Zander, Nielsen and Petersson, with Daxx Nielsen on drums and Robin Taylor Zander on rhythm guitar and vocals. Neither report says whether more dates will be added to the November run, or whether the 2027 cancellations go beyond the dates already announced.报道还说,无从得知这次休整何时结束。Blabbermouth 把现役阵容描述为三位原始成员——Zander、Nielsen 与 Petersson——加上鼓手 Daxx Nielsen 与节奏吉他兼和声 Robin Taylor Zander。两篇报道都没有说明11月这轮是否会加场,也没有说明2027年的取消是否超出已公布的范围。
The record the band is pausing on乐队在什么节点上暂停
Blabbermouth supplies the discography and the numbers behind the farewell-to-the-road framing. Its 21st studio album, All Washed Up, came out last November, produced by Cheap Trick with longtime associate Julian Raymond, mixed by Chris Lord-Alge and recorded at studios in Nashville and Los Angeles through 2024. The same report lists a 2016 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, more than 6,000 live performances since the band formed and more than 20 million albums sold.Blabbermouth 补上了乐队暂停时的作品与数字。第21张录音室专辑《All Washed Up》于去年11月发行,由 Cheap Trick 与长期合作伙伴 Julian Raymond 共同制作、Chris Lord-Alge 混音,2024年在纳什维尔与洛杉矶的多间录音室录制。同一篇报道还列出2016年入选摇滚名人堂、成军以来超过6000场现场演出,以及逾2000万张专辑销量。
Neither report says what happens after the break. There is no return date, no statement from Nielsen or Zander alone, no recording plan and no explanation of why the pause starts with the 2027 dates rather than the November run. Both rely on the group statement for the reason.
