KROKUS Returns To Live Stage

June 5, 2007

KROKUS frontman Marc Storace has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

"Last Saturday, June 2 we returned to the live stage following a short rest from the road. During this time we put together some solid foundations on which to build our next studio album!

"Our nightliner pulled into the backstage area at a sweltering hot Schwung Festival in Roeselare, Belgium, when FOCUS were rocking the stage. Other popular acts on that night's billing were UFO, REO SPEEDWAGON and MEGADETH. A refreshing shower, coffee and a good shot of Grappa and I was ready to rock!!!

"We hit the stage like a mighty express train and the huge audience (7,000 strong) hit us back like a Tsunami!!!! After singing almost louder than the band we unfortunately had to leave our fired up Belgian fans shouting for more, even after our second encore, but the promoter assured me that he would definitely have KROKUS back as soon as possible! To top this excitement, our good friend Rina greeted us offstage and with tears in her eyes she broke the news that Peter Waelti's [of The KROKUS Globe Club For Clan & Fan] 'heart-zapping' operation had been a success and that his heartbeat had returned to normal!!! What a great day!!!!!

"In the name of the band and the whole KROKUS organisation I would like to say: Welcome back, Peter!!!

"For a few weeks back there we were all very alarmed by your dangerous health situation bro. However, thanks to the loving care of your whole family and the ever-watchful eye of the hospital staff, plus the many prayers from our own families, friends, fans and the band itself, to the almighty God, you finally made it through a helluva difficult patch in your life. So Peter, in your own words, 'please never forget to stop and smell the roses, God Bless.'

"The exciting gig in Roeselare followed by the exciting news of Peter's recovery have shed much positive light onto our pesent creative activity. Believe me... The best is yet to come!"
