## Resource

Jason Newsted, the legendary Metallica bassist turned Chophouse Band frontman, is back on the road after beating throat cancer — and he’s not slowing down. Diagnosed last year, he underwent surgery in May and got the all-clear in April. Now, at 63, he’s headlining his first-ever North American tour with his band, hitting 18 cities coast to coast. Formed since 1992, The Chophouse Band has always blended rock with purpose, playing benefit shows for veterans and youth arts. With a stacked lineup including Jesse Farnsworth, Jimbo Hart, Humberto Perez, and Robert John-Tucker, Jason’s still rocking hard — and still a Hall of Famer, inducted with Metallica in 2009.
