K.K. couldn't stick around to do a farewell tour ??? Rumor of illness (maybe arthritis) . What else would keep him from doing this???

Yeah, I saw the message yesterday. What a fuck up. Is he ill? I have no idea what's going on.

I hope they tour here, but I wish KK was still there.

K.K. Downing press release:

Dear friends,

It is with much regret that I will not be with you this summer. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your concerns about my health. Please rest assured that I am O.K.

There has been an ongoing breakdown in working relationship between myself, elements of the band, and the band's management for some time.

Therefore I have decided to step down rather than to tour with negative sentiments as I feel that this would be a deception to you, our cherished fans.

However I would urge you to please support the Priest as I have no doubt that it will be a show not to be missed.

All my love and respect,

K K Downing

I really like KK it's a real shame, I'm quite sure they will tour Australia in the new year so it won't be the same without him... You think they could work out their differences after 30 years!?
