LIVING COLOUR's Lineup Intact Despite COREY GLOVER's Absence From European Tour

July 23, 2006

LIVING COLOUR singer Corey Glover and guitarist Vernon Reid have commented on the band's decision to utilize guest singer Doug Pinnick of KING'S X for ther upcoming European tour dates in August.

Said Reid: "It's a weird situation to be in but two things up front should be made clear:

1) This is ONLY the result of a dual career scheduling conflict...call it dueling contracts... And 'Jesus Christ Superstar' won!

2) Corey is THE lead singer of LIVING COLOUR

3) Dug's coming through is an example of the kind of unity that used to exist between bands before we all became egotistical insurgent militias....He's gonna be great.

4) There will be a new record next year..."

Meanwhile, Glover has posted the following message on his official web site: "As many of you may have heard, I am joining the stage cast of 'Jesus Christ Superstar', starring Ted Neeley. The tour starts in September but I begin rehearsals in August. Unfortunately, this conflicts with some LIVING COLOUR dates in Europe. As the saying goes, the show must go on. The band has been fortunate to have the amazing and talented Doug Pinnick from KING'S X agree to replace me at the mic. I believe this has the making for some incredible performances. I would love to be there myself to witness the magic. Let me assure you, this in no way signifies the verge of a breakup or permanent change in lineup for LIVING COLOUR. Stay tuned. See you out here."
