Glenn Harveston has issued the following statement regarding Kamelot‘s announcement that singer Roy Khan is unable to join them for their North American Tour due to an unknown illness:
“I would like to thank Kamelot for continuing with their tour despite the hardship. That shows pure professionalisment and class. I would also like to thank Michael (Eriksen, from fellow Norwegian outfit CIRCUS MAXIMUS) for stepping up to the plate at the very last minute to keep things going. I would not have been able to replace a headline band within only seven days before the scheduled appearance. I do understand the fan’s disappointment. However, I would say that Kamelot‘s disappointment is equal. The show must go on….”
