Thirty plus years later, something’s gotta give, but it’s not Glenn Tilbrook’s voice. His most recent lament involves a digit as he explains, “Right now I’m facing the most challenging thing I’ve ever dealt with, which is that there’s something wrong with my thumb.  I used to bend it around the top of the neck of the guitar and I can’t do that at all.  I’m looking to having surgery because it’s a pretty big impediment.”  The word arthritis comes to mind of which he retorts, “That’s what I was initially diagnosed with, but the latest doctor feels it’s ‘trigger thumb’ – where when you use something a lot it seizes up on you.”
