In order to give their fans the best show possible Six Gallery decided to rather lock themselves up for rehearsals and hence postpone their European tour that was scheduled for May.

Together we had the fortune of touring and sharing the stage in some amazing places and visited some breathtaking countries. Bruce dedicated over a decade to Agent Steel and for this he should be recognized, and we part on good terms.”
