On March 4th, the band had already been honored with golden plaques for The Last Stand's sales in the Czech Republic at Tipsport Arena, Prague.
Bass player Pär Sundström commented: "This is a proof of two things, first that we are still able to make music that fans wanna listen to and second that we have fantastic fans who really care. Sure, the current tour is called The Last Tour, but as long as it is going like this we'll be going strong for a long time."
Sabaton kicked off the North American leg of The Last Tour headlining trek in April. The band are joined by symphonic metal group Leaves’ Eyes and heavy power metal onslaught/labelmates Battle Beast.
