RATT drummer Bobby Blotzer has checked in with the following update:

“Hi all Ratt N Rollers, I have a first for you. As for these next three shows Ratt have this week, I will not be driving the bus behind the drums. My neck surgery from Oct. 25th is not ready as I found out at one rehearsal attempt. I just can’t risk the possibility of further damage. I’ve never once in my life missed a show so I’m tripping to say the least. I was hoping to give you a surprise as to who would be playing in my place, but I can’t deliver that surprise as it’s not happening. So, see ya on the monster cruise in a couple months. Have fun!”

RATT, DOKKEN: Forced To Land In Illinois After Fire In Cockpit

Earlier today, RATT and DOKKEN were forced to land at The Quad City International Airport (QCIA) in Moline, IL following their gig last night at the I Wireless Center, after there was a fire in the cockpit!

According to CBS News, Chuck Brennan, a friend of the bands who chartered the flight, told The Associated Press that the plane took off from the Moline airport but pilots had to turn it around when smoke appeared in the front of the plane at about 7,000 feet.

Brennan said the pilots donned oxygen masks and landed the Challenger 601 with no incident. There were no injuries reported by the pilot or the 13 passengers.

“The cabin didn’t fill with smoke,” said Brennan, the owner of short-term lender Dollar Loan Center.

Brennan, a former promoter who opened the Brennan Rock & Roll Academy in his hometown of Sioux Falls, S.D., said he had chartered the plane out of Santa Ana, Calif., for a four-city tour.
