NEW YORK — Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago has checked into a rehabilitation center for drug and alcohol issues.
His Pixies band mates Black Francis, David Lovering and Paz Lenchantin said in a statement Friday that Santiago will be in a rehab center for “at least 30 days.” No more details were provided.
“This is the best thing that Joey could have done, and we’re very proud that he’s taken this step,” Lovering said.
The rock band is set to release a new album, “Head Carrier,” on Sept. 30. They said some of their promotional events will be affected by Santiago’s absence.
