This is an update from Blaze Bayley to get you all up to speed on what's happening in the band:

"As already reported on our website and at blazefans.de, we are filming a live DVD at Z7 in Switzerland on 13 December 2008. The show will be the full "The Tour That Will Not Die" set with plenty of new tracks from the latest album, some old favourites and also some brand new previously unreleased tracks.

The first 500 DVD's sold through this website will be strictly limited edition double disc sets, with T-Shirt and commemorative wristband available only with this packaged, signed and numbered (in purchasing order) by the band.

The DVD will also feature extras and highlights from the warm up shows that stretch to The Big Bash. Both Dudley and Z7 are also being recorded for, not only the DVD, but a live album. Jase Edwards will once again be handling production duties. Filming will be done by Kris McManus of Animus Pictures.

The DVD is expected to ship in February to be available for March. Although this is obviously well in advance we have already made presales open in our online store. But don't worry, it isn't "Chinese Democracy".

As mentioned, we have organised some UK warm-up shows, parts of which will also be filmed for the DVD special features. The "Tour That Will Not Die" is stretching towards the end of 2009 and should see us going to places that the band has not yet played as well as revisting our favourite stomping grounds. As soon as dates are completely confirmed we will be posting them online. Brazil has been fully confirmed for January (except for one date still in negotiation) so apologies once again for having postponed those gigs....but we will be there soon."
