SAXON Frontman: We Will 'Definitely' Tour North America Next Year
December 17, 2005SAXON frontman Biff Byford has posted the following message on the band's official web site:
"First off, have to say a big sorry to our American fans for the visa problems, we have the visas now good 'till June, so we'll definitely be there next year.
"Second half of the '80 tour is doing great full houses everywhere, last show tomorrow in Osnabrück, should be a good party.
"Thank you to the ten thousand people in Prague for a great welcome, have a great X-mas and a happy New Year.
"OH! Just one more thing there is album in the shops with a cover that is very close to the 'Killing Ground' album, a SAXON helmet. It's called 'Motorcycle Man', it contains the Donington bootleg and the Oliver/Dawson DVD sound track, so there´s nothing new on it, they obviously try to con people into thinking it's a reissue or got something to do with SAXON. We've sent a copy to our lawyer to take advice."
As previously reported, SAXON were originally slated to embark on an American tour in May but ended up cancelling the dates as a result of Biff Byford wanting to stay by his family's side after his house in the Normandie area of France burned down. In that incident, Biff, his wife and their children got out of the house at the very last minute and nobody was hurt.
SAXON are touring in support of their latest CD, "Lionheart", available now on SPV Records. The follow-up to 2001's "Killing Ground" features artwork by Paul R. Gregory, who has previously worked with the group on the now classic "Crusader" album.
