The 59-year-old Glaswegian has been struggling to play his band's hit song Nothing Ever Happens, which he told the Sunday Times Weekend magazine you need 'quite a strong arm' for.
Justin Currie has said that he wants his degenerative illness Parkinson's to make the decision on whether he should stop touring.
Currie said: "You also need a relaxed wrist but I couldn't do two things at once. If I tried, I'd lose the grip on the plectrum get stuck in the strings. You just become more and more of an amateur. Your body's like this." Currie also said it is "a way of humanising the thing inside you that's not human because the disease feels like some kind of nemesis".
Scottish comedian Sir Billy Connolly and Black Sabbath star Ozzy Osbourne have also been diagnosed with the disease.
