The Strawbs have rescheduled the dates postponed when frontman Dave Cousins underwent surgery for injuries sustained in a fall.
In June of last year Cousins, 71, fell and hit his head on a pavement after choking on tea outside his home. The trauma dislodged a kidney stone and he later had surgery.
A statement on the band’s website reads: “Great news - Dave has now been cleared to get back on the road for both the imminent acoustic shows and the forthcoming electric show on the Moodies Cruise, the US and the UK later in the year.”
A number of acoustic dates are set for this month, with an appearance on the Moody Blues Cruise departing from Florida coming ahead of further acoustic UK dates.
The UK electric tour kicks off in April with US electric dates coming in May.
