Thanks to everybody who has come out to see Rock Out: The Arrowhead Farewell Tour—we’d not be rockin’ these previous 60 years with out you, our devoted followers.
Sadly, after commencing the tour final Saturday in Boston, adopted by two nights in Philadelphia, we might be suspending the tour. Final evening in Pittsburgh lead singer Stax Migellian’s vocal cords got here out of his mouth when singing the climax of Arrowhead’s basic anthem “Hearth Like A Flame.” Earlier than we are able to resume the tour, the vocal cords will have to be positioned, placed on ice, sterilized, and reimplanted into Stax’s throat. Bodily remedy will observe.
Relaxation assured, we aren’t dropping by the wayside but. After Stax’s full recuperation, along with his vocal cords again in his neck the place they belong, we’ll be again on the street once more, bidding you farewell.
As at all times, Maintain The Rock On,

Unhappy information to report back to Arrowhead followers: we might want to postpone our not too long ago restarted farewell tour. At a Cincinnati live performance, bassist Valmer DeSota obtained his lengthy hair caught within the strings of his bass. Not like when this occurred on the ’87 tour, this time the hair is caught in such a approach that it reels in additional hair each time he performs the bass. He does not wish to reduce his well-known locks, so till we discover a answer (he has already tried taking part in Arrowhead songs backwards to see if that unspools the hair from the bass), our farewell tour is on hiatus.

Pricey followers: swarms of bees have been hovering round keyboard participant Jaym Stellar and following him always. Insect specialists inform us the bees are affected by a situation referred to as “hive confusion,” and it has made it unimaginable for him to play his components, together with the epic six-minute bridge of “Kingdom Of Icicles.”
Additionally: at an outside present in Cleveland final week, drummer Scott Gatlin was struck by lightning. Although it didn’t seem to depart any lasting bodily injury, the incident has led him to assume that he’s now lifeless. The band has had bother speaking him again into touring once more. He does not assume he has too, as a result of he thinks he is lifeless. He does not assume he has to do a lot of something anymore.
As soon as these points are resolved, we’ll get again to saying goodbye to all of you in brief order.

Finally week’s Milwaukee present, through the encore of “River Of Life,” rhythm guitar participant Russ Briton obtained misplaced within the fog from the fog machine. We haven’t been capable of finding him. He may be gone.
Additionally, saxophonist Krisha Valdez is taking day without work: she has the land-bends, which is simply alleviated by dwelling submerged underwater in a scuba go well with.
Moreover, guitarist Billy Stairwell’s palms harm from taking part in guitar. It’s not an harm or a situation, he simply performs guitar rather a lot and it hurts his palms. Have you ever ever performed guitar? Doing it hurts your palms. And he is been taking part in guitar for many years. He desires to take a break from doing one thing that hurts his palms a lot, and so typically.
We hope to get Rock Out: The Arrowhead Farewell Tour again on schedule as quickly as we treatment these issues. After which, in fact, finish the tour quickly after that.

At our Wichita present, we found that long-time keyboardist Seve Silby is a collective hallucination that we have all been imagining. He’ll have to be changed by a keys participant who can show they’re actual earlier than we are able to restart/full our farewell tour.

Issues should not trying good, Arrowhead followers: lead singer Stax Migellian is dangling from a department jutting out from the sting of cliff; bassist Valmer DeSota has been tapped to compose the rating of the subsequent Nicole Holofcenerr movie; as a part of a local weather change protest, keyboard participant Jaym Stellar chained himself to a cloud; substitute rhythm guitar participant Rodrigo Atom was arrested on dog-riding fees; and guitarist Billy Stairwell has shifted focus to his enterprise promoting yarn-made gentle guitars that do not harm your palms if you play them.
As quickly as these varied conflicts could be addressed, the band would love nothing greater than to return to the stage and end the second half of their final live performance of Rock Out: The Arrowhead Farewell Tour.
