FIREBALL MINISTRY: U.K. Tour Cancelled

August 17, 2006

L.A. rock warriors FIREBALL MINISTRY — who in recent months have toured alongside such heavyweights of rock and metal as DISTURBED, H.I.M., OPETH, NEVERMORE, CLUTCH and CKY, in addition to a one-off performance with JUDAS PRIEST — have posted the following message on their official web site:

"Bad news on the U.K. tour front. We have been forced to cancel the U.K. dates that were booked for September for no other reason that our record label not thinking that it was "worth while" to give us the financial support. We are very upset by this decision and would like to apologize to all the people who bought tickets and were excited to have us come back. Please know that no one is more dissapointed by this than the four members of FIREBALL MINISTRY.

"Now is the time for you guys in the U.K. and anywhere else to express your anger with this situation. Send emails to Century Media and let them know that you wanted us there. On our next album we promise to make the U.K. a priority, only this time in writing. Keep the FM spirit alive. We will prevail.

"Dates are being put in place here in the USA for a tour with us, ARTIMUS PYLEDRIVER and VAINS OF JENNA for October/December."
