BLAZE BAYLEY - Brazilian Tour Update
July 14, 2008, 16 years ago
As previously reported, BLAZE BAYLEY band manager Debbie (Blaze's wife) is in critical condition in hospital following a dual brain haemorrhage last week and has not regained consciousness. The band has issued the following update:
"As said, due to the current situation we will not be heading to brazil now until early next year.It has however since come to our attention that we would not have been able to continue as planned with this tour in any event (even if Debbie had not been in this condition) due to the Brazilian Tour agent.
Claudio Giovanni working for In Concert company. has disappeared with all of the tour funds that were trusted to him from many promoters throughout the country - 'open the road agency' who were working with him have also been screwed over considerably.
Currently local authorities are in his pursuit and he is expected to be captured and charged with fraud shortly.
New arrangements are being made to ensure that the Brazilian dates are in order hopefully for January.
New dates for Brazil and other South American countries will be announced shortly.
We thank all the Brazilian fans for their support and patience at this difficult time - We'll see you in the road soon!"
