Former Guns N' Roses rocker Gilby Clarke will take over duties for Nita Strauss on Cooper's upcoming tour, which runs from Jan. 31 to Feb. 17. Former Cooper guitarist Orianthi had previously been announced as Strauss' fill-in, but she's now unable to complete the tour due to unforeseen circumstances.
"I have a torn hamstring, hip and lower back issue which is very uncomfortable and unfortunate," Orianthi wrote on X. "Getting the help I need here with the best doctors. I have been advised to not tour / travel. I love Alice and the band very much, but won't be able to do this short run with them this time. I'm mending up. Love you all."
