Pat Benatar has announced on her website that longtime lead guitarist Neil "Spyder" Giraldo sustained an eye injury and has had surgery, but they will have to cancel some of their upcoming tour dates.

Dear Ones,

It has been a crazy week ……Spyder’s eye injury was unexpected and terrifying. Thanking God and the Universe that he was able to have surgery immediately and save his eye. He is healing nicely and expected to make a full recovery! Unfortunately,not soon enough for us to continue the tour. (www.benatargiraldo.com)
