CD/DVD Releases: Asia Reschedule UK Dates, DVD Release Dates Set

Posted on Sunday, September 09 @ 03:08:24 UTC by nightowl

In early August, Asia postponed the 2nd leg of their North American tour, and later their UK dates, due to then-discovered health condition in vocalist/bassist John Wetton - advanced coronary disease. Wetton subsequently had triple-bypass heart surgery to correct the problem, and is recuperating.

New UK dates were announced for March 2008 (see Event Calendar or the Asia website for the itinerary); new North American dates will be announced later.

The release dates for the Fantasia: Live In Tokyo DVD, the first to include the original Asia lineup, are: Japan - September 21; UK and the rest of the world (ex. US) - September 24; US - October 2. Pre-orders will available through the Asia website later.

Meanwhile, Asia is participating in a special charity CD for Serenity House, a hospice based int he Philadelphia, PA area; Asia contributed an "unreleased unplugged version of 'Don't Cry' from the Sirius Satellite radio performance in August of 2006. This is a limited release and all proceeds will be donated to Serenity House." Details available at the Asia website.
