Bugger!
I was contacted by a booking agent about this tour: at the time they were looking to get three or four UK dates, but it looks like they're now to be in Germany.
This country really comes off badly when it comes to tours, it sucks!

Was considering moving FTA to coincide with the tour but the price they were asking was waaaay too much. Fair enough really I guess considering it's a package tour and coming from America and everything but couldn't afford it.

Aye but to be fair its hardly suprising, no one seems to go gigs anymore the last fuck knows how many gigs I've been the turn out has been rather wank, can't remember the last time I saw a good turn out.

It was a sell-out at Take That.

I would have done but I've already kidnapped them Kathy Bates Misery style and am forcing them to write a new album as we speak.

they did try to get some dates here in the UK. as Luci said it was too much for the package. would have loved to have been able to afford to get them over.

Aw bummer... I wanted to see Katon De La Penis.... that's his nickname, known only to me...

King Diamond better announce some UK dates. Or I'll cry.
