MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP: U.S. Tour Cancelled - Dec. 21, 2005
Michael Schenker has been forced to cancel his previously announced U.S. tour. The guitarist's official statement on the matter reads as follows:
"I am announcing the cancellation of the MSG USA 'Tales of Rock 'n' Roll' tour since I did not receive the official letters from [former managers] Bella Piper and Linda Schenker which I have requested. Unfortunately, I must sacrifice this USA tour to protect myself to be able to keep playing music. I will not come back to America unless Bella and Linda stop threatening me in unfair ways for the sake of money. From now on, I will concentrate on the release of the new MSG album, 'Tales of Rock 'n' Roll', as I have planned, and establish my life in Germany. I will now prepare for the Europe tour 2006.
"I am so sorry to the fans who were looking forward to seeing my concerts. I hope someday I will see you and play music for you. Please check out my website, I will keep you posted as what happens for people who are interested about this cancellation."
As previously reported, MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP (MSG) will release "Tales of Rock 'n' Roll", a special CD to celebrate the band's 25-year anniversary, in Europe on April 28, 2006 via Armageddon Music. The CD will feature guest appearances by past MSG singers, including Robin McAuley, Kelly Keeling, Gary Barden, Leif Sundin and Chris Logan. A European tour in support of the album will kick off in early May. Opening on select dates will be VICTORY and NIKKI PUPPET.
