February 27, 2004

Former STRATOVARIUS singer Timo Kotipelto has released a statement via his official web site reassuring his Spanish fans that he will, in fact, be appearing with the group at the Piorno Rock festival this weekend.

"About the festival tomorrow," he writes. "I have been getting some emails from my Spanish fans who are asking if I am gonna sing in Granada and been begging me to do it. I will be there and I am looking forward to seeing Spanish metal heads again! Gracias!"
