autre bad news, mais surtout pour les Russes, les dates de concert sont annulées, et si c'était pour venir en France
:lol!: :
URIAH HEEP has cancelled its previously announced nine-date tour
of Russia, Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus which was scheduled to commence
in Chisinau, Moldova tomorrow, Wednesday, June 4. According to the
band, "the last-minute cancellation comes as a result of the tour
promoter's complete lack of adherence to contractual stipulations
concerning PA, lights, backline equipment, visas, tour itineraries,
travel arrangements and failure to make scheduled payments.
"
URIAH HEEPbitterly regret having to cancel the tour, but over the past few weeks
it has been impossible to finalize arrangements for the tour due to the
promoters total failure to fulfil their contractual obligations or
supply the band with the correct advance information. Cancelling the
tour has come as a last resort and after extensive negotiations to
resolve the issues,
URIAH HEEP were not in a position to have
any confidence that shows could be put on, or even take place, up to
the band and the fans expectations.
"
URIAH HEEP would
like to apologize to all their fans for the cancellation due to a
situation completely beyond their control and would certainly hope to
be able to visit these countries again in the future to put on a show
that the fans deserve."
