Pagan's Mind Cancels Tour Dates With Stratovarius
Pagan's Mind has issued the following announcement about canceling their remaining tour dates with Stratovarius:
"PAGAN'S MIND regret to announce that the last half of the band's North American tour in support of STRATOVARIUS is cancelled. The second leg in Canada along with the three west coast U.S. dates will be with Stratovarius and local support bands only.
"The band would like to thank Stratovarius and their managment for attempting to resolve the problems that forced us to make this difficult choice. The obstacles placed in the band's path were numerous and the decisions made were completely out of the band's control. Needless to say, the guys are crushed by the recent turn of events.
