Statement from Cheap Trick re: Bun E. Carlos
Well, this explains almost nothing. After Cheap Trick drummer Bun E. Carlos (known to his mom as Brad Carlson) was absent from the weekend’s SXSW events — a press day, signing at Waterloo Records, “Austin City Limits” taping and headlining a free show at Auditorium Shores Friday night — road manager Carla Dragotti forwarded this statement:
“Bun E. Carlos is not currently the touring drummer for Cheap Trick. Bun E. remains a band member. Everyone is healthy and Cheap Trick will continue to tour as planned.”
Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen’s son, Daxx, has been filling in on drums. And quite capably.

As a fan of the band I have to say without BC the Trick might as well stay home.
