Kamelot Postpone North American Tour

Share






I guess all you American (and Canadian, of course) Kamelot fans wont be getting to bask in the band’s Eurodelicious rays this fall after all. You see, the band released a statement stating an illness befalling their vocalist, Roy Khan, is the reason the band has had to pull the plug on all the shows they scheduled in the States this September/November. You may remember Kamelot initially planned the tour with Michael Eriksen filling in on vocals but they revised that decision today because they didn’t feel comfortable doing a North American Tour giving fans any less than a “100% Kamelot experience”. 

Rest assured the band will reschedule all or most of the dates I’m sure, as soon as Khan, who’s illness is as of yet undiagnosed, is back to full strength. And let’s be honest here, would you  really want to shell out all that cash to see 4/5 of Kamelot and the dude from Circus Maximus or wait a few months and get the real deal? Let us know in the comments section.

I have been waiting to see Kamelot live in concert for five years in the Los Angeles area. I was going to purchase tickets for both the West Hollywood HOB and the San Diego HOB concerts. While I am a huge Kamelot fan I would have been VERY dissapointed to see Kamelot without Khan, in fact I would not have gone. I respect the band's decision to postpone the tour until khan is better. I keep Khan in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy and full recovery. I will be here and the first in line when they reschedule their North American tour. Bottom line: Kamelot made the right decision and I respect them for that.

Yeah I think this way works out better in the end.

You know, the day I was going to buy tickets, Kamelot had announced the vocalist change and thus I never bought the tickets. The Circus Maximus guy has been getting a lot of praise but I listened to him and really didn't like what I heard! I'm really happy about this though, I'll be seeing Kamelot after all.
