The police report and a tour update

AS promised here is the police report from ROME.

Just to clarify once again… NOT all of our stuff have been stolen BUT quite a significant amount as you can see on the report. The list of the stolen property is listed on this police report and if you see this property on sale somewhere please contact us. See the police report here: Part 1, Part 2 http://www.evergrey.net

This is of course devastating for us, maybe more than you can ever imagine. To make an Evergrey show we need certain specific things and our crew, this is not too hard to understand.

It’s never a choice for us to cancel… we always TRY our best to make the shows happen. We spent 3 days in a bus from LYON to Sweden having to pay ALL the money that we had for the trip home. We have been home for a couple of hours now and are REALLY trying to make the best out of the situation. We are now aiming to rent a van to go BACK the same way we came from to make the DUTCH shows since it is “only” 15 hours travel to get there. To buy flights for 8 people for Spain and Portugal shows is simply not realistic since it costs too much. Then we would have to ADD travel, renting cars AND hotels too that amount. Once again simply impossible. We already lost so much money it is beyond comprehension.

We would really like to play the shows and would love to have the chance to re-schedule. It’s really better for ALL involved that we come to your countries and perform in the way that makes Evergrey justice but under these circumstances it is impossible.

To add to this there are MORE things that will prove that the organisation of this tour was extremely lacking. This includes the tourbus not being paid for (by the booking agency) which made us have to pay 4500 Euros just to get home from Lyon. This money we had to borrow to even be able to get home. Our lawyers are handling THIS situation right now and therefore we are not able to speak about it as of yet.

There will surely be more information about this as soon as possible.

We really hope for your understanding as this situation is hard as it is.

The band
