Swedish rockers EUROPE have issued the following update:

"All you beautiful Danes, your favourite band will come down to sing for Obama and the rest in Copenhagen on December 7th. The band will perform four songs, old and new, in front of the expected tens of millions of worldwide TV viewers and 20,000 people ar Parken Stadium."

Europe's manager Petri H. Lunden comments: This is one of the most important events at this time. For the climate it's the final countdown unless politicians make a move."
