TANK Frontman To Have Tumor Removed, Band Cancel Festival Appearances

January 23, 2004

According to a posting from TANK guitarist Cliff Evans at the TANK "This Means War"web site, "[TANK bassist/vocalist] Algy Ward will be taken into hospital next month to remove a tumor from his head. He's been having problems with his hearing and getting headaches. The doctors only discovered the problem a couple of days ago. Obviously this means we will be unable to play the festivals in March. Algy is very upset about this because he feels he's letting everyone down. It's taken us the past 6 months to get on these festivals. We had our plane tickets and hotels booked. We were all really excited. Hopefully Algy will make a full recovery soon and we can re-schedule some shows. We still have Sweden Rock fest booked in June and we will also play some clubs. Also Wacken festival should be confirmed for August. I'll keep you informed on Algy's condition and hopefully next time I will have good news for you."
