SAXON Manager 'Explains' South American/Mexican Tour Cancellation

October 12, 2006

SAXON's manager Thomas Jensen has finally released a statement regarding the cancellation of the group's South American/Mexican tour (as BLABBERMOUTH.NET first reported on October 6). In an Oct. 11 posting on the band's official web site, Jensen writes, "Unfortunately I have to announce that SAXON have to cancel all festival appearances in South America due to recording commitments. Please don't book any flights. I am really sorry to have to send this news."

SAXON's South American/Mexican trek was scheduled to kick off last Saturday (Oct. 7) in Mexico City and was slated to include appearances in Argentina and Brazil.

Steamhammer/SPV released SAXON's brand-new live album, "The Eagle Has Landed Pt. III", in the U.S. on June 27, featuring the first new recordings with drummer Nigel Glockler, who recently returned to the SAXON fold following an extended creative break. "The Eagle Has Landed Pt. III" was recorded by two different line-ups: the cuts from 2004 feature drummer Jörg Michael, the 2005 material presents Nigel Glockler. Consisting, next to Glocker, of founding members Biff Byford (vocals) and Paul Quinn (guitar) plus the long-serving Nibbs Carter (bass) and Doug Scarratt (guitar),SAXON are still one of the hottest contemporary live acts.
