KAMELOT Announces North American Headlining Tour

February 28, 2011

American melodic metallers KAMELOT will embark on a full headlining North American tour in August/September. Support on the trek will come from ALESTORM, BLACKGUARD and THE AGONIST.

Due to continuing medical and personal issues, KAMELOT vocalist Roy Khan will not be able to finish the remaining touring in support of the band's latest album, "Poetry For The Poisoned". He states, "I am here in Norway still recovering from what seems to have been a severe burnout syndrome. I am getting better, but still under medical care. My priorities at the moment are my health and family. My future endeavors in KAMELOT and music in general are being evaluated. However, at this time my focus is on getting back on my feet and spending time with family and friends. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes!"

With the news of Roy's continued absence, KAMELOT has announced that metal icon Fabio Lione (RHAPSODY OF FIRE) will be handling the lead vocal duties on all the upcoming shows.

Lione is eager to get on the road, stating, "I am excited and pleased to be part of the next KAMELOT tour. I always loved the sound of the band..and I think this will be a great experience for me, the band, and for all the fans of great music and KAMELOT. See you soon on tour and let's rock!!!"

In addition to Fabio, throughout these shows there will also be special guest and vocal appearances from top artists in the scene.
