MSG Officially Cancel Remaining UK Tour Dates

Legendary guitarist Michael Schenker's (MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP, UFO, SCORPIONS) MySpace page has been updated with the following message:

"Due to various mitigating circumstances that have conspired to derail the [U.K.] tour, it has been officially confirmed by a source close to MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP that the remaining tour dates have definitely been cancelled. In truth, it was impossible to carry on with the current situation, a situation that has been caused by a multitude of events beyond the bands control, including Michael's. The band and Michael would personally like to express their gratitude for the patience and understanding shown by the MSG faithful (fans) during this extremely difficult time and would like to say 'Thank you' to ALL those who have expressed their continuing love and support. Be assured, MSG hope to see you ALL on the road in the future."

Schenker and his band were scheduled to perform Friday night (August 3) in Stourbridge, U.K. but ended up calling off the gig after only a handful of songs.
