SAXON Manager Apologizes To Australian, Russian Fans

October 17, 2007

SAXON manager Thomas Jensen has issued the following statement regarding the postponement of the band's Russian and Australian tour dates:

"Again due to visa problems we have to announce that SAXON can't make it to Moscow. The promoter in Russia and our tour manager tried their best, but the post strike and delays at the Japanese embassy worked against us. The new Moscow show will be happen on 30th November 2007. We will also postpone our first Australian appearance to April 2008. This was also too optimistic. New dates will be announced soon. The band started to write new songs and everybody is excited about the upcomming single release and the release of the new DVD. Again, sorry to our Russian and Australian fans, we won't let you wait for wait for long."
