Apparently he has family matters to attend to and will miss the European tour and they have brought in Mats Leven to cover. Actually it would have been cool to see how Mats would have sung on the Firewind tunes but alas for some unfathomable reason there isn't a London date on the UK legs which is very odd indeed. Apollo will be back for the North American tour so if you are going to any of those you'll have the full Firewind experience. Interesting support they've chosen in Arsis, White Wizzard and Nightrage. There's gonna be a whole heap of shredding going on!
