Blaze

Leider muss ich Euch die traurige Mitteilung machen, dass die Band sich von dem Sänger Blaze Bayley getrennt hat, und zwar wegen unüberbrückbaren Differenzen über die Arbeitsweise des neuen Managements. Blaze wollte weiterhin mit diesem zusammenarbeiten, daher nun der Split. Ich wünsche Blaze bei all seinen zukünftigen Aktivitäten alles Gute. Jan. 2007

"Dear fans of BLAZE,

We are in the sad situation to give out the news that the complete current line- up of BLAZE, therefore the authors of this letter, will leave the band. In the past years BLAZE was in a difficult situation, regarding finances, management and organization. Finally, during summer 2006, things started to clear up a bit, after working together on all those aspects. Most of the songs for the next album have been already written together, still - in a tough music business today - we were prepared it would be not easy to launch the new era of BLAZE. But we always had the feeling we had a great band, further being really good friends, and being capable of handling that. But about four months ago Blaze Bayley got in contact with a new management. The ideas and working style of this management quickly showed to be very different what we, the musicians, considered to be right for this band. Blaze Bayley himself decided to stay with the management. Thus a common basis for making music together is not longer existing. We thank you for all your support during the past years. Have a happy and successful year 2007.”
