Kotipelto/Stratovarius Update

In a recent posting, Stratovarius frontman Timo Kotipelto gave the following update: “What I have been up to lately? I just thought to inform you about my activities in the past couple of weeks. I've been composing some songs lately. If they will be used for my next possible (Kotipelto) album is still a little bit open. There's also been some rumours if I will tour with Jari, Mirka, Sami and Janne (as Kotipelto) in Brazil or not. That is open too, I do hope to confirm the tour (or say if there is not a tour) in the next couple of days. I will have to talk to Jari and ask him what is the condition of his hand (for those who don't know: he injured his hand in a biking accident). Anyway, if there is a tour I will put the tour dates/venues on my homepage asap! Take Care! Timo”

Two days later Timo posted this: “The possible South-American tour got canceled. First the guys in the band and I were extremely happy to hear that there might be a short tour in South-America. I'm very sad to tell the fans over there that the tour got canceled. It would have been very nice to play in South-America. Well, hopefully one day! Maybe Jari and I will come there with Stratovarius. Rock! Timo"
