Vocalist David Van Landing is fronting Schenker's band on the tour, which kicked off on October 3rd in Modesto, California. David has stepped in for Robin McAuley, who was originally slated to take part in the trek after recently reuniting with Schenker for their first full tour together in almost 20 years.
In addition to Schenker and Van Landing, the lineup includes Pete Holmes (BLACK N' BLUE) on drums, Wayne Findlay (MSG) on guitar and Elliott Rubinson (Dean Guitars) on bass.
Due to a four year battle with a recurring Acid Reflux and the nasty Stomach Bacteria, HP, Robin McAuley was diagnosed with a Hiatal Hernia and requires surgery and was forced to drop off the tour due to doctor's orders.
Robin released this statement in regards to this decision: "In light of the upcoming MSG shows beginning early October 2012, I regretfully am forced to cancel my appearance with Michael Schenker. I expect to be back in the saddle soon as this is taken care of but it's important for all the fans to know how very disappointed I am. I make a point of staying healthy and always ready to meet the challenges of each day as it comes. This is one of those days I rarely have to confront, but here it is nonetheless. I promise to be back at ya! Real soon! Be well, all of you, and thank you for your support.”
