JON OLIVA'S PAIN Comment On Canadian Concert Cancellations

September 11, 2005

JON OLIVA'S PAIN, the solo project of SAVATAGE mastermind Jon Oliva, have posted the following message on their official web site:

"It is with deep regret and disappointment that we announce that the Canadian goverment would not allow the bands to enter into their country and so we are forced to cancel both the Toronto show this evening and the Montreal show on Tuesday night.

"We would like to thank the promoters, Stefan and Noel, for all their help in getting these shows together and we'd also like to apologize to the fans for any inconvenience that this may have caused. We look forward to re-scheduling these shows in the next couple of weeks."

The Metal Insurgence Tour 2005 — featuring JON OLIVA'S PAIN, CHRIS CAFFERY'S FACES (solo project of SAVATAGE guitarist Chris Caffery) and BEYOND FEAR (fronted by former JUDAS PRIEST and current ICED EARTH singer Tim "Ripper" Owens) — are scheduled to play the following dates during the next couple of weeks:

Sep. 15 - Jaxx - Springfield, VA
Sep. 16 - Brooklyn Music Terminal (formerly L'Amour) – Brooklyn, NY
Sep. 17 - Pirate's Den – Gloucester City, NJ
Sep. 23 - Jannus Landing - St. Petersburg, FL
Sep. 24 - Taboo Nightclub - Ft. Lauderdale, FL
