We are going to have to postpone the U.K. shows and allow Joey to return home to meet with his doctors. We promise we will make amends and most certainly return as soon as we can reschedule. We will do our very best to make tomorrow's final performance in Hamburg happen before we fly home - please sing extra loud with us!
