Robby Takac Temporarily Sidelined By Rare Arm Ailment

The Goo Goo Dolls played Seattle’s Key Arena Tuesday, and for the first time in 18 years Robby Takac was not onstage, instead he was dealing with a rare arm condition known as cellulitis, which has forced him off the road. “When I missed the first show, I felt like Cal Ripken, like I just blew my record,” Takac told Spencer Patterson of the Las Vegas Sun. “The hardest part of it right now is mending my brain. My arm is feeling OK, but my brain is all tweaked from sitting around on the couch and watching (expletive) TV. How do people do this all day?” Lasvegassun.com has since removed the article.
