Hi all, As a FINAL, official note to the current developments on The Monkees tour, please see the following statement released by Peter this morning. Peter said to thank all of you for your support & kind words & he hopes that everyone will understand that he holds no ill feelings towards anyone & is looking forward to seeing you on the road this fall & winter when he is touring with Shoe Suede Blues. Take care, Bonnie ~~~ Peter Tork, original member of the 60's pop group The Monkees, has announced his departure from the band's 2001 tour schedule, effective immediately. Tork acknowledges reports regarding interpersonal situations within the band, but said his emphasis is on returning to first loves and striking out on new paths. "I fully enjoyed performing in the show," said Tork, "but I had made commitments prior to embarking on The Monkees tour, and I need to honor those commitments." Those commitments include performing with Tork's own blues band, Shoe Suede Blues, which had just begun a national touring agenda when The Monkees' tour producer, David Fishof, contacted Tork about a 35th anniversary tour for The Monkees. "It's time now to resume those plans," he said. The Monkees tour had originally been scheduled for the early summer months but as it gained in popularity, the schedule was extended beyond the time that Tork was able to commit. When the tour was extended to include performances in the UK in the fall of 2001, Tork resigned, citing the need to attend to his own personal and professional needs. "I think the world of both Micky and David as performers and people," Tork added. "Their new show will be a wonderful experience for the audiences. I wish them both the best of luck." Tork hopes the fans will be informed immediately of the change in plans so that they won't be disappointed when attending The Monkees shows in anticipation of seeing all three group members. He is quick to add, however, that fans should still expect to see a first-rate show, with lots of good music and good fun. ******* --Webby@DJForever
