A message from Mick Box:
"I am sorry to say that we did not play the concert in Vilnius Lithuania on the 2nd July 2006. It is with much regret that this happened as we were really looking forward to playing a great show for our Lithuanian fans. However the promoter for this show failed to pay our fee as per the contract, and reneged on various other of his contractual commitments so we were therefore unable to play this show for which we were hugely disappointed. We hope to be back on another occasion in happier circumstances.
Mick Box - Uriah Heep"
