OVER THE RAINBOW guitarist Jurgen ("J.R.") Blackmore has issued the following update:
"About Russia... it was absolutely fantastic to play in Russia/Ukraine/Belarus. All the fans are so much into our music. It was like they all are a piece of this band. I think these fans are some of the best in the world. Looking forward to playing there again.As for touring Europe... this is my home continent and I am very happy to do this tour. There are so many different countries on this upcoming tour, that I am very curious to play there. Every country is different and I think it will be an awesome tour to all experience these different cultures.
Love to see u all... rock n roll!"
