VISION DIVINE: South American Tour Cancelled

September 18, 2006

Italian melodic power metallers VISION DIVINE, the brainchild of ex-LABYRINTH mastermind Olaf Thörsen, have posted the following message on their official web site:

"We are sorry and shocked for what just happened. Without any [notice], and even worse, after many promises from third parties who were managing the tour, we discovered just now, once arrived in the USA, that the Latin tour won't take place because of too many problems with flight tickets and many other things that are even impossible to be explained. We are simply shocked and surprised by seeing how things have been managed. We feel ripped off as surely should feel those who already bought tickets to our shows. We are also gonna sue somebody for what happened, but this won't change the mess.

"In many years of career we never got into something like this, and there are not so many words we can tell right now. We will play ProgPower fest, which [proved] to be a completely professional situation where everything turned out to be exactly as planned, and then we will go back to Italy, as there is no way at all to make the rest of the shows take place, not even after some telephone callw we had in which we tried to do our best as band in order to make things go on. We really pushed to make shows not being cancelled, and we were also disposed to renounce too many things originally promised. We even offered to pay hotels by ourselves just to respect all those people waiting for us and to give a chance to those who were not responsible about this to go on, but no way. [The] promoter totally disappeared, and once we arrived in the USA, we also found that there are no flight tickets ready to bring us to the rest of the countries.

"Sorry once again, that's all we can tell right now. Whining or complaining won't make things change, unfortunately."

VISION DIVINE's last album, "The Perfect Machine", was released in 2005 through Scarlet Records.
