Stratovarius - Jörg Back, But Paris Show Cancelled
January 11th, Stratovarius didn't perform in Paris as expected. They went on stage with promoter Oliver Garnier to announce that although this particular date was supposed to be a real party due to Jörg Michael being back in the band after his first therapy against cancer, Timo Kotipelto had been suffering from food poisoning since some time before Christmas. Although they tried everything that was possible, he was still unable to sing a single note, he said.
After the announcement, roadies cleared the stage that they had so carefully set for Stratovarius, allowing rumors that they had indeed hoped to perform until the very last minute.
Stratovarius is currently embarked in a European with German power metallers Helloween. It hasn't been stated when Stratovarius would be performing again, so it is to believe that they won't take the stage on Thursday January 12th in Lyon, France, as well.

Written by Wyrd on 13.01.2011 at 02:52 Yep, it sucks that Timo has been laid out with food poisoning. Ive had that myself before, and it can be very nasty.  Its awesome that Jorg seems to be winning his fight against cancer, when I first heard he had it, it was like "here we go again..." luckily, this seems like its going to be one of the happy endings to having this horrible disease. xD Oh, and Imperial Troll... Oi! NO! He roundhoused the cancer like he was Bruce Lee! lol

I remeber meeting Timo in Toronto last year. I must have been the only Canadian fan that went up to him that tour. I've never met a nicer guy. I really hope this is not like a "James LaBrie 1994" deal. I respect this guy to much to see his greatness go like that. But I'm sure it's nothing. If Jorg can go Cammander Shepard on Cancer then these guys have earned their right to stay.
