KING DIAMOND’s website has been updated with the following message from manager Olé Bang:

“Word has recently been going around; that we are in the planning of new show dates. To any avoid rip off, I shall here let you all know that we are not. In particular; we are not in the making of any plans to tour South America. Any promoter saying differently is lying. Do not pre-order or buy any ticket for a King Diamond or MERCYFUL FATE show. Once we have shows booked it will be announced here. King Diamond is currently in pre-production for the SwedenRock Festival and Hellfest, and those two performances are the only booked shows.”

King Diamond band members – Andy LaRocque (guitar), Mike Wead (guitar), Hal Patino (bass) – talk about the band’s upcoming stage production, and what they think the fans’ reaction will be. Check out the clip below:

Following the successful open heart triple bypass surgery in November 2010, King Diamond will return to the stage with two exciting open air events. He will be headlining the Rock Stage at Sweden Rock Festival on Saturday, June 9th. For more details visit Swedenrock.com.
