Helloween a écrit : Michael Kiske Health Issues!

With regret we have to announce that Michael Kiske has voice problems, caused by our tiring travel schedule.
He gave his best during the first two shows in Mexico, but after consulting a doctor he was told his voice needs to rest.

We thought about cancelling tomorrow´s show in San Jose, Costa Rica, but HELLOWEEN and especially Michael don´t want to let the fans down. We know that many of you have anticipated this for a long time and made many sacrifices to attend our show!
Having this in mind, we decided to strip down the setlist so we can continue the tour.
Michael is eager to perform for the fans in San Jose, but unfortunately his participation will depend on tomorrows medical advice.

Thank you for your understanding!

Speaking about Michael's current condition, Kai said (hear audio below): "He's getting better. He was already a little ill when we left Germany [on our way to the first show], and, of course, during the flight it got worse, and the next day, so he was really fighting very hard on stage, especially with this long program. So now he's getting much better. We will maybe reduce the setlist a little bit for the next shows so we don't play maybe two hours and fifty [minutes], we play maybe twenty minutes less — give him a little more space to recover. And, of course, me and Sascha and Andi, we will support him with vocals as good as we can, so united we will do the thing."

Hansen added that Kiske saw a doctor and was prescribed "some antibiotics and some other spray stuff and so on — the usual things — and he's actually better."

As for why HELLOWEEN decided to use backing tapes at the Monterrey concert, Hansen said: "Well, actually, on the first show — it was only the first one — we had to make a choice, because [Michael] was really feeling pretty bad. And he said, 'I don't know if can do it.' So we said, 'Okay, we have a backup voice for him.' Normally it's only used for your own in-ear, for parts to get some more control, but this time we said, 'Okay, there are some passages that are really hard for him to sing, and we might… if the sound engineer realizes, he can use that as well. So maybe he did sometimes. But I think it's fair enough. I mean, he really tried very hard, and for one thing, we really did not want to cancel the show. So he was really singing and giving all the best he could. He was prepped with medication, of course, so it worked halfway well, but there were certain parts that were replaced, and, honestly, yep, we stand to that; I think we made the right decision to do it that way."

According to Kai, scrapping the concert was deemed the less desirable option, forcing the band to try to salvage the gig to the best of the musicians' abilities.
