Концерт Nightwish в Leipzig прошёл без PAIN, которые, как известно, выступают у них на разогреве.
Причина их отсутствия более, чем уважительная. Ночью 23 февраля участники группы - Peter Tägtgren (guitar/vocals), Johan Husgafvel (bass) и David Wallin (drums) - были избиты.
Вот, как прокомментировал ситуацию Wallin: "We arrived here [in Leipzig] yesterday and three of us spent the evening of our day off at some local bars. When we had enough we walked out on the street to find a taxi back to the bus and three assholes decided to kick us down and hit me in the head with a wine bottle. Some guy who recognized us helped us in his car to a nearby hospital. Peter's got a really black eye and was given 10 stitches on his cheek. I have a concussion, eight stitches on the side of my head and glass in my hands. Johan has a broken nose and bruses all over. We're really sorry for canceling tonight's show but it just wasn't possible. We're gonna do our best to get back in the saddle again and continue the tour without further interruption. Everything tastes better with blood in your mouth."

А ведь совершенно недавно они открыли блог http://www.pain.cd/ontour/. И даже благодарили Nightwish за номера в отеле (правда, не понятно почему).

В любом случае, хочется пожелать ребятам удачи и скорейшего выздоровления!
