Just wanted to follow up news of April European tour cancellation. I apologize to all who have been disappointed and inconvenienced by this. I feel it needs a contextual explanation. Due to the health issue which began April ‘23, this put EVERYTHING to a complete halt for an entire year. We were halfway done w record. In ‘24 we had reschedule two huge American tours which had to be postponed until I had a clean bill of health. “If I had a clean bill of health. “

Throughout this, we’ve had to get back in studio to finish this album working producer, engineer’s schedules. Everyone is playing catch up. I can’t tell you how hard I’m working on all fronts to bring you this long awaited album. Please bear with us. We will be in Europe next year w a dynamite 🧨 tour so excited to share with you all. P.S. Tickets will be refunded I assure you.

All my sincerity, Mike Ness.
