GREG LAKE CANCELS 2006 TOUR

GREG LAKE TOUR 2006
 
 
To all my friends, fans and supporters and indeed to anyone who may have a reason to be concerned or interested.
 
It is with deep regret that I am forced to inform you about the cancellation of my forthcoming tour.
 
I want to make clear that this cancellation is in no way due to any unwillingness or inability on the part of the band or myself to perform and has been occasioned by circumstances wholly beyond my control.  I remained hopeful up until the eleventh hour that there was something I could do to ensure the tour went ahead as planned but it was not in my hands.  
 
Unfortunately we have been badly let down by those engaged to manage the tour; this has lead to the tour not going ahead.  I am currently dealing with those responsible via my solicitors.  
 
I would like to pay tribute to the outstanding loyalty and professionalism of the musicians in my band who were prepared to embark on this tour and ready to perform until the very last moment.  
 
David Arch, one of the greatest musicians I have ever had the privilege of working with, Trevor Barry, a bass player of extraordinary musical ability and as solid a friend as anyone could ever wish for, Florien Opahle, a true genius who will become a huge guitar player in the years to come, and Brett Morgan who has everything one could possibly wish for from a drummer, a feel to die for and total dedication in every single beat he plays. We are all immensely disappointed by the cancellation of this tour.
 
I would also like to pay tribute to the girls in the band who despite having just recently come on board also remained strong and loyal throughout.
 
Catherine “Cat” Wood, Julia Hagne and Annella Kisoon. Each one enormously talented in their own right and some of the best people I have come across during my entire career.  
 
I am deeply saddened that for the moment you were unable to witness the combined energy of this fantastic band on this tour and I very much hope that once all this has been resolved we can we can give the show that you deserve.  
 
Plans are already underway to reschedule the tour for early in the coming year.
 
Most gratefully and indeed regretfully yours,
 
Greg Lake.
