Blind Guardian leent Rhapsody drummer
Blind Guardian maakt voor hun Brazilië tour gebruik van de diensten van Rhapsody drummer Alex Holzwarth. De
reden hiertoe is een peesinfectie die Blind Guardian drummer Thomen Stauch heeft opgelopen. Op de website van
Blind Guardian is het volgende persbericht van Thomen te lezen:

… Due to pain in my left hand, that got harder day by day, since the Wacken Festival, I finally had to go to hospital yesterday, only one day before leaving to Brasil. There the doctors told me, that I have a tendon infection and that they have to plaster my arm to prevent me from moving my fingers and hand for at least 2 weeks. They were convinced, that I must have had overstrained my tendons during playing drums on our previous shows and strictly advised me to rest for at least the next two weeks, because otherwise I could expect even not being able to play for the next couple of months anymore. |
I hope, you all can understand, that under this circumstances I don´t want to risk my health, or even my job.
… Thanks Alex Holzwarth (Rhapsody), who will give his best to practice our songs as good as possible in a
minimum of time, we at least didn´t have to cancel the whole Brasilian tour in the end. In my opinion this guy
is a fantastic drummer and more than a worthy replacement for me, but I think you all know it already.
… Thanks a million to all of you, for paying attention to my explanation, which hopefully was clear enough
to understand and has put your minds at rest.
Yours,
Thomen
