FROM HELLOWEEN: 

 

Dear pumpkinheads,
we sadly have to announce that we are forced to cancel our planned Helloween concerts in (South) East Asia.
During the recently completed European tour, Michael Kiske contracted acute pharyngolaryngotracheitis
and asthmatic dyspnea with bronchitis and has been prescribed immediate bed rest by his doctor.
We feel very sorry for our fans in Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan, but Michaels health has the highest priority for us, and in order to prevent a long term damage to his voice this step is unavoidable.
We wish Michael a fast recovery and hope to be able to present our fans in (South) East Asia our mighty 40 Years Anniversary show in 2026!
- Helloween
