Timo Tolkki Reports On The Future Of Former Band STRATOVARIUS
May 30, 2008, 16 years ago
Former STRATOVARIUS leader/guitarist Timo Tolkki has issued the following update:
"Just thought you might want to hear this and end the speculations.Today I made an interview with a biggest Heavy Metal magazine Rock Hard in Germany with a long time journalist friend of the band, Mr Frank Albrecht.
I was wondering when he was talking about all the time 'now that Strato won't continue without you'. I told him that as far as I know they are and he said that no, because Jörg Michael sent him a statement a week ago that will be in the next issue of Rock Hard.
Jörg says among other things: 'We thought about continuing with the name Strato, but we came into a conclusion that it is Tolkki's band and therefore we are not going to do it'.
I believe this sets the record straight and is also the right decision. How you view this in the light of the recent statements of Jörg & co, is entirely up to you. I just thought that you would like to know how things are and the Germans can read it from the next issue of Rock Hard.
They will probably issue some kind of statement together with that.
Now let's get back to music!
Cheers, Timo."
