-- YES Cancels 40th Anniversary Tour
--
NEW
YORK, NY, JUNE 4, 2008 -– Legendary rock band Yes announced today that
the group will unfortunately be canceling their 2008 40th Anniversary
Tour. The 26-city tour was scheduled to kick off in Quebec next month
and run through the summer.
Said Jon Anderson, “In the wake of my recent respiratory attack, doctors
have advised me to spend the coming months resting and recovering.
Unfortunately, this means I won't be able to tour with Yes this summer
as originally planned. I'd like everyone to know how deeply disappointed
I am by this turn of events. I was looking forward to celebrating our
music with the amazing family of Yes fans once again; but as we all
know, health must come before anything else. Wishing you all the very
best...”
Said Chris Squire, “We were all looking forward to performing for our
fans after a prolonged leave of absence from touring. I am especially
regretful of the fact that I know many of our fans and friends have
probably laid out non-refundable airfares and hotels, etc. in order to
enjoy the Yes shows this summer. Please join me in wishing Jon a speedy
return to health, which at this point in time is our main concern.”
Yes frontman and founding member Jon Anderson was admitted to the
hospital last month after suffering a severe asthma attack. He has now
been diagnosed with acute respiratory failure and was told by doctors
this weekend that he needs to rest and not work for a period of at least
six months or suffer further health complications. Upon receiving this
news the band has determined that their tour plans need to be put on
hold.
Ticket refunds will be available at the point of purchase.

Preview of the first Decapitated DVD!
--
Decapitated
- this Polish death metal band was formed in 1996 when the average
age of the band members was just 14. Many people focused on
Decapitated's age as a reason to doubt them - the fact was that the
band were already becoming an established live act throughout
Poland, and in working so hard on the road had earned themselves a
cult reputation as genuine contenders rather than simple novelties.
Their first album entitled “Winds Of Creation”, recorded for Earache
subsidiary Wicked World, was produced by Vader’s Piotr Wiwczarek.
Released in April 2000, the record immediately struck the world-wide
attention of death metal fans and the band began to be hailed as
potential big league players. They’ve released 4 studio albums so
far (“Winds Of Creation” 2000, “Nihility” 2002, “The Negation” 2004,
“Organic Hallucinosis” 2006). The band’s early demos were released
by Metal Mind Productions on a CD entitled “The First Damned”.
Today Decapitated
return with their first official DVD release. “Human’s Dust”
will be released by Metal Mind Productions on 9th June in
Europe and 10th June in USA. DVD will be
available in two versions: as a standard DVD and as a very unique
star metalpack DVD edition limited to 3000 copies!
The main feature of
the DVD consists of the band’s gig in Krakow (October 2002), which
was a part of their European tour along with Vader and Krisiun.
Bonus materials include two live performances recorded during
Ozzfest in Poland (May 2002) and Metalmania Festival(March 2004), a
video clip "Winds of Creation" plus three interviews recorded at
various locations: Kraków, 2002 (Vitek and Vogg), Ozzfest in
Katowice, 2002 (Vogg and Sauron), Metalmania in Katowice, 2004 (Sauron
and Martin). Photo gallery, biography, discography, desktop images,
weblinks. Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound.
