-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT UPDATE -
Our manager is in critical condition in hospital following a Dual Brain Heamorrage last week and has not regained consciousness.
As some of you may already know, Debbie is Blaze's Wife, so understandably, Blaze will be staying at bedside for the time being and we as a band are not prepared to put ourselves too far from her under these circumstances.
Due to this serious situation, Blaze cannot appear at the Easy Rider Bike Fest this Coming weekend and the Brazilian Tour must be postponed until early next year.
IRON MAIDEN FC サイトで(私、メンバーです)、メンバーの一人が直近でアップしていたBlabbermouthの記事です。 長いですがそのまま引用+差し出がましいようですが要約をつけます。 あちらの多くのメンバーもDebbieの回復を心より祈っています。

"・・・省略。 "Debbie is now in a coma that could last days, weeks or even months. She is breathing on her own and she is stable, but she is still in critical condition. I visit her every day that I am not out with the band, and talk to her about what is going on with the band and how well the new album is doing. Her family and close friends are also at her bedside every day.
"Thank you to every one who has sent messages of support to Debbie and to me. A lot of them I have read out to Debbie in hospital. As each day passes she has more chance of making some kind of recovery, but it will be a very long process. It is not like on TV where people just suddenly wake up. They may wake up for 60 seconds then fall unconscious again for hours or days and eventualy they can stay awake for a little longer each time. The whole process can take days, weeks, months, or even years. Brain injuries and recovery are very unpredictable so there are no guarentees or certanties in any of this.
"She has worked so hard to get the band going and to make the new album possible that I feel it is important to continue with what she has started for us. So I am not cancelling any shows that she has arranged for the band, because I know that is not what Debbie would want. We will continue to book shows and run things the way she started. There have been a few hiccups with the online store but please email us if you have any problems and we will try to sort them out.
"Thank you all again for all the love and support you have given my wife and me over these very difficult days. I hope you enjoy the new album and we'll see you at one of our shows soon."
僕も昨日やっと「THE MAN WHO WOULD NOT DIE」をHMVより入手出来ました。素晴らしい出来映えです。ブレイズのボーカルも新たなステージに突入した様に思います。日本のファンの事も念頭に書いてくれたであろう「SAMURAI」は、今回のアルバムのキラーチューンです。この曲を1日も早く日本で聴けることを願っております。
