Former QUEENSRŸCHE frontman Geoff Tate will offer his fans a chance to join him on a Pacific Northwest tour in January 2020. He says: "If you want to attend private rehearsals for the 'Empire' and 'Rage For Order' tour in the Seattle area, ride around with me on ferry boats and celebrate my [61st] birthday, then this tour will be for you." Write backstagepasstravel@gmail.com for details and to get on the list for a spot. Geoff has spent the last couple of years celebrating the 30th anniversary of QUEENSRŸCHE's "Operation: Mindcrime" album by performing the LP in its entirety on European and U.S. tours. Tate will perform the QUEENSRŸCHE albums "Rage For Order" and "Empire" in their entirety on the "Empire 30th Anniversary Tour" in 2020. 1986's "Rage For Order" introduced a much more polished look and sound for QUEENSRŸCHE. The album featured keyboards as prominently as guitars, and the group adopted an image more closely associated with glam rock or glam metal than with heavy metal (of which glam metal was a subgenre). A video was filmed for the song "Gonna Get Close to You", originally recorded in 1984 by DALBELLO. Released in 1990, "Empire" included the hit ballad "Silent Lucidity", which reached No. 9 on the Billboard singles chart, helped propel "Empire" to No. 7 on the album chart and earned two Grammy Award nominations.
