Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ Mike Campbell is delaying the release of the debut album by his band the Dirty Knobs along with their first national tour due to an unspecified illness. The LP, Wreckless Abandon, will now come out on September 18th.

“On Sunday night my doctors discovered some health issues, which, while fully treatable, need to be addressed before going out on tour,” Campbell said in a statement. “The good news, well, really it’s great news, is that I’m going to be just fine. The bad news, and I say this with much frustration, is the tour that was scheduled to start next week will need to be postponed and rescheduled for September.

The Dirty Knobs are slated to perform at Chris Stapleton’s All American Roadshow between June and August, and those dates are still on the books. The headlining tour now begins September 9th in Tampa, Florida, and wraps up November 7th in New Orleans.

“If you bought tickets to any of our headline shows, they will still be good for the rescheduled dates,” he said. “If you are unable to make the new date, you can obtain a refund at your point of purchase and we hope to see you another time soon. I know that many of you made plans to travel to the upcoming shows and I’m so sorry that those plans have been upended. However, health is the most important thing, and I want to bring you the best show possible. I truly appreciate everyone’s understanding.”

In addition to Campbell, the Dirty Knobs features singer-guitarist Jason Sinay, bassist Lance Morrison, and drummer Matt Laug. They have been gigging around Los Angeles for years, but they became Campbell’s chief creative outlet after the death of Tom Petty in 2017. The guitarist planned on going out with them earlier, but his unexpected invitation to join Fleetwood Mac in 2018 delayed those plans until this year.
