Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago has reportedly checked into rehab for at least 30 days to treat drug and alcohol issues. The band confirmed the news today on their Facebook page.

“This is the best thing that Joey could have done,” the statement read. “We’re very proud he’s taken this step, and we ask everyone to support Joey while he’s on the road to recovery.”

The band also noted that they fully intend to tour the UK and Europe this November and December, but that Santiago’s rehab time will interfere with with some of their planned promotional activities surrounding their new album, Head Carrier, due out on September 30.
