Manager: MICHAEL SCHENKER 'Very Sick', Needs Immediate Medical Treatment

May 11, 2004

Legendary guitarist Michael Schenker is "very sick and if he does not get well soon, it may end him as well as his career," according to a personal message sent to a Japanese MICHAEL SCHENKERfan site by the guitarist's personal manager, Nancy Lewis. The entire message reads as follows:

"Normally I would not post such a message but Michael is very sick and if he does not get well soon, it may end him as well as his career. I cannot elaborate on the details except to ask all of you who love him to pray for him. He is out of the country and I cannot fly there because it is too expensive and I don't know if even I would be of any help. It has to be serious for me to make such a private issue public. All those of you please pray as hard as you can and maybe between all of us, we can make a difference. That is all I can say right now. I am very sorry to have to make this kind of announcement. Thank you, Nancy Lewis personal manager for Michael Schenker."

A follow-up message offers a short update on Schenker's situation without elaborating any further on his condition or the nature of his illness:

"Michael will be returning the US tomorrow to go to an American doctor who can help him get well very quickly. Tell his fans we still need their prayers for a speedy recovery for Michael. Thank you."
