ASIA, featuring the original line-up of Geoff Downes (keyboards), Steve Howe (guitar), Carl Palmer (drums) and John Wetton (lead vocal, bass), has been forced to cancel the 30th Anniversary UK Tour, due to drummer Carl Palmer coming down with a severe case of E. coli. Tickets are refundable from the point of purchase.

Carl Palmer has issued the following statement:

"By the time many of you read this you will have heard that I have had to cancel the Asia 30th Anniversary tour of the UK this week. I was given less than a 10% chance of playing the tour. On Thursday afternoon I had lost my battle and under strict instructions from my doctors I was told I had to cancel. By this time I could hardly stand up to the infection. E-coli had completely taken over.

I have always been proud of the fact that I have never cancelled a tour in my professional career, in 47 years as a musician. It had always been a personal goal of mine to maintain this feat, now sadly lost.

I would like to say to the people of Holmfirth and my home City of Birmingham, and to all the other places we were about to play, please accept my deepest apologies.

I would like to thank all of the people involved, including the Promoters and all of the Management involved In helping me through this terrible experience I am going through with E-coli. The messages and support from band mates have been so warm. Most of all many thanks to Asia fans for being so understanding."

Frontiers Records released Asia's newest live package, Resonance, on November 23rd in Europe and November 27th in North America. Recorded on May 4th, 2010 in Basel, Switzerland, this new Asia live 2CD / DVD captures the band in front of an ecstatic audience during one of the shows on the Omega World Tour.

Filmed with 18 HD cameras, this live recording is truly a rewarding experience for all Asia fans. After the polished Japanese DVD Fantasia, Asia released Spirit Of The Night from the Cambridge Festival two years later. Spirit was a high-energy, end-of festival document. This is Asia resonating the Z7 on an Omega night in Central Europe: “Asia live on the road, in-your face and for your pleasure,” says John Wetton.

The set list features songs from their first two reunion albums - Phoenix and Omega - along with a selection of the classics from the 1982 debut album and their 1983 follow-up Alpha. The recording is a historical document of where the band was at the time and a snapshot of their musicianship, camaraderie and passion.

This live 2CD / DVD is released exclusively in a lavish digipak edition and is an irreplaceable companion to the studio album.
