FINALLY THE TOUR IS HERE.
IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL AND I LOOK FORWARD TO CATCHING YOU AT THE UPCOMING SHOWS.




IT IS A TOUGH TIME FOR ME AND MANY OF MY FRIENDS.
WE LOST A GREAT PERSON 2 NIGHTS AGO-SHAWN MORTENSEN-
HE HAS BEEN A FANTASTIC,LOYAL AND TRUSTED FRIEND FOR EONS.


WE ARE ALL CRUSHED BY THIS LOSS.
HE WAS A PHOTOGRAPHER BY TRADE BUT A POET AT HEART.
A SWEET MAN IN A HARSH WORLD.
TASTE,STYLE,LAUGHTER,ADVENTURE,COMPASSION,INDIVIDUALITY-HE HAD THEM ALL IN SPADES.


I AM IN A STATE OF COMPLETE SHOCK AND NOW TO BE ON TOUR,
I HAVE THE SOOTHING BALM OF MUSIC.


SHAWN LOVED MUSIC-
HE'S BEEN TO MORE SHOWS OF MINE THAN ME.


THIS IS A TOUGH ONE.


SHINE ON EVERYONE.LIVE IT UP.
BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER.
