TARJA TURUNEN Checks In From Russia
April 28, 2011, 13 years ago
Former NIGHTWISH singer TARJA TURUNEN has issued the following update:
"After two intense days of rehearsals we are ready to rock Russia and the rest of the countries in this European tour. I am glad that Alex and Kevin are back with us on this leg.
Even though Saint Petersburg has always been my favourite Russian city, I have never had a chance to see it well enough. Yesterday I was walking around the city with Kevin, Chris and the shining sun. We even got a chance to see the sunset! The city is so beautiful, gorgeous.
Tonight I will meet my Russian fans for the first time with What Lies Beneath. I am happy and excited about it. I am sure the show will be fantastic. Last time I was in Saint Petersburg in 2006 with a Christmas concert. Now for the first time ever with my rock band! So it will be very different this time.
Unfortunately it seems that I am getting a bit sick right now, so I have to fight hard to face this long tour without problems. The weather is colder here than in Argentina and it seems that I was not prepared well enough. Europe, here we come!"
