Go to the link to read a letter from the band.

So this is the second time his whole band has quit, right? I really like Blaze's solo stuff, but I have to admit, the whole operation seems pretty ridiculous. The line-ups, the sizes of the places he plays at... nobody can be happy in that situation.

I really wonder what the future is for Blaze.

Doesn't surprise me much, really. I mean, he hasn't done anything resembling a tour in years. I honestly don't hold out much hope for seeing another solo album from him.

:lol: This is too much!

This opens the door for Blaze to join forces with Dianno. They can tour the world playing with a different band in each city and play Maiden covers for 4 hours a night to 150 people. I'd go.

Me neither. I can't blame his band either. I don't know if those guys work day jobs or not, but, well, they probably have to. I think it's pretty obvious Blaze's career as a musician has peaked. Not really sure what I'd do in his situation.

I thought Dianno hates Blaze :confused:

They performed together a few years back. Dianno doesn't seem to really hate anyone (except maybe his four or five ex-wives). He just like to say funny things.

I wonder what now for the messiah.

I've read Blaze is about to get married. Things can't be going that badly for him. He was a complete chemically-dependent mess a couple years back.

His band was made of people from various countries with little connection to him who play in a bunch of bands simultaneoulsy and probably work day jobs as well. It was always kind of iffy.

While the sudden nature of this is weird, I do suspect he'll eventually get another album together. Based on his earlier releases, I expect it will be good.

I must add that it's REALLY weird that nothing of this is on planetblaze.
