More about Dead and Company
Dead and Company was formed in 2015 and consists of surviving Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann, along with John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, and Jeff Chimenti.
In 2015, Mayer invited Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir to join him for a studio performance when he was guest-hosting The Late Late Show. Mayer then started practicing the band's large catalog of songs while the Grateful Dead were preparing for their 50th-anniversary shows.
That same year in August, Mayer and original Grateful Dead members Weir, Hart, and Kreutzmann formed the band, along with keyboardist Jeff Chimenti and bassist Oteil Burbridge. In late 2015, Dead and Company announced a full tour that was well received.
Earlier in January this year, the band was set to perform at the Moon Palace resort in Cancun. However, on January 6, the shows were canceled because of the rise in COVID-19 cases.
Moreover, drummer Bill Kreutzmann was asked not to perform at the shows due to issues with his heart. Kreutzmann mentioned his health concerns on Twitter:
“After a lifetime of playing special beats, it’s almost no wonder that my heart came up with its own idea of rhythm.”
In October 2021, Kreutzmann suffered from respiratory illness due to COVID-19. Jay Lane was the stand-in drummer as the band played a national tour.
