ARIZONA BLUE CONFIRM RETURN WITH “APOLOGY” UK TOUR
James Elliot out of hospital and ready to hit the road in January
 English rock outfit Arizona Blue have confirmed that they are set to return to the stage and start writing a follow up to debut album Blackout in the “near future” in a press release sent out earlier today.
The band, who earlier this year celebrated their 5th anniversary only began to find fame at the start of 2012 where they found a sudden rise in popularity across America after their debut US performance at the Total Annihilation Festival in New York in May 2012.
The well-received debut album Blackout looked to be the springboard for the rest of 2012 & half of 2013 before vocalist James Elliot was rushed to hospital only hours before their highly-anticipated slot at Field Trip Festival, forcing the band to cancel their almost fully sold-out UK tour, from then the band have fallen silent and there has been no report on Elliot’s condition until now.
“We really do appreciate every single kind word of support sent to us during this difficult time so would first of all like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
“We’re very pleased to announce that after four months of recovering from the surgery he underwent at the start of June, the doctors looking after our friend and front man James Elliot have given him the all clear to return to touring and can now think about returning to the studio next year, so we’re thrilled to announce that this is what’s going to be happening”
“From today onwards we will start full practice sessions again and can finally announce our UK tour – an apology to the thousands of people we had to cancel on, we hope you haven’t forgotten about us, we certainly haven’t forgotten about you”.
The dates are listed below, there is no news if original support act 8 Mile Rock are set to once again support the band on their 9-date UK trek.
January 2013:
9th – Dublin Academy
10th – Liverpool O2 Academy2
11th - Birmingham O2 Academy2
13th – Glasgow O2 Academy
14th – Leeds Cockpit
15th – Manchester Sound Control
17th – Sheffield Corporation
18th – London Islington Academy
19th – Cardiff Great Hall 2OOC: I know I left without notice, so this is a story to bring the band back, as I wanted to come back here but when I was here the first time I didn't really have a lot of time with college deadlines on a weekly basis, then I went to Download and never found a way back into the game but now I'm able to get back on here, hope you'll have me back! |
