The band shared via social media, "The Doobie Brothers are heartbroken to announce that Tom Johnston will be undergoing surgery following severe back pain and won't be able to join the band on the upcoming leg of their 50th Anniversary Tour.
"Per advisement of his physician, Johnston should not be performing at this time and is looking forward to returning to the road as soon as possible.
