The band's frontman was just released from the hospital, send some love to the band's page!
FROM KORPIKLAANI:
No worries, man is alive and the tour will go on as planned. We still have one guitarist left!
Stupid fucking shitload of an airline called British Airways left all our gear in London. All. Other luggage arrived ok. "Look, some band gear. Let's leave it here so that they won't be able to play." Current info is that the gear will arrive here approx. 3h before the showtime tomorrow. Remains to be seen. And on top of that, someone had been smoking in the plane's toilet and the stupid fucking git of a flight attendant comes to shout at us 'cause the long haired ones are always guilty. Fuck off, British Airways. Seriously. Fuck off.
