Guitarist Steve Vai, who grew up in Carle Place, has postponed his homecoming. The axeman was originally scheduled to headline The Paramount in Huntington on Feb. 25 but due to shoulder surgery he has moved the show to Oct. 30.
"I’m gutted that we have to move this tour, but I also know it’s in the best interests for us and the fans that we do," said Vai, 61, in a statement.
However, Vai is still moving full steam ahead with the release of "Inviolate," his first studio album in over five years, on Jan. 28. Two songs from the record, "Little Pretty" and "Zeus in Chains," have been released in advance.
Vai hasn’t performed a Long Island gig since he held a guitar clinic in Glen Cove during the summer of 2019.
