King Diamond published a video on their Facebook page with a message to fans.
This video is in support of their recent reunion announcement.
Here’s the statement:
A Dangerous meeting awaits you, Europe…
See you at the Ruined Bridge. – MERCYFUL FATE
Watch the video below.
According to King Diamond’s Facebook page, Mercyful Fate will be playing some gigs in the summer of 2020.
“MERCYFUL FATE will be playing an unspecified number of concerts throughout Europe during the summer of 2020, including COPENHELL.
It will be the “9” lineup, featuring: Hank Shermann – Guitar, King Diamond – Vocals, Bjarne T Holm – Drums, Mike Wead – Guitar with Joey Vera on the bass while Timi Hansen is away. We asked Joey Vera (Armored Saint, Fates Warning) to fill in because he has a very unique style and sound playing with his fingers, much like that of Timi Hansen.
This is very important since the setlist will only consist of songs from the very first “mini-LP”, the “Melissa” album, and the “Don’t Break The Oath” album, plus some brand new songs written specifically in that very same style. This will very much be Mercyful Fate as we were in the very beginning, except for a brand new major stage production. See you at the Ruined Bridge. Stay Heavy…”
