Michael Schenker has issued the following message via his website (www.michaelschenkerhimself.com):

“Message to my fans in USA...

I am announcing the cancellation of the MSG USA Tales Of Rock 'N' Roll tour since I did not receive the official letters from Bella Piper and Linda Schenker which I have requested. Unfortunately, I must sacrifice this USA tour to protect myself to be able to keep playing music. I will not come back to America unless Bella and Linda stop threatening me in unfair ways for the sake of money. From now on, I will concentrate on the release of the new MSG album, Tales Of Rock 'N' Roll" as I have planned, and establish my life in Germany. I will now prepare for the Europe Tour 2006.

I am so sorry to the fans who were looking forward to seeing my concerts. I hope someday I will see you and play music for you. Please check out my website, I will keep you posted as what happens for people who are interested about this cancellation.

All the Best, Michael.”

MSG’s Tales Of Rock 'N' Roll is out in Europe on April 28th, 2006 through Armageddon Music.
