HELL Forced To Cancel Appearance At Keep It True XII
February 16, 2009, 15 years ago
Keep It True XII is scheduled for April 24th and 25th, 2009 in Lauda-Königshofen, Germany at the Tauberfrankenhalle.
Organizers check in with the following update:
"It is with great regret that HELL (UK) have been forced to cancel their appearance at KIT XII. Kev Bower, the band's guitarist and synthesizer player, was today informed that he must have immediate abdominal (stomach) surgery to treat a problem which will become very dangerous if not treated straight away, and his surgeon has warned him that an 8 - 10 week recovery period is the minimum required after this.Since Kev performs such a complex 2-part role within the band, finding a replacement is impossible given the close proximity of the show.
Hell's first European appearance had generated great interest amongst metal fans - to the extent that some die-hards were actually travelling from the USA to see the show. This decision has been extremely sad, and Hell would like to offer their sincere apologies to all who were looking
forward to seeing them. Our great thanks go to Oliver and all involved with KIT for inviting us - Hell very much hopes to see everyone at another KIT, another time."
