Following the unfortunate loss of Warrel Dane, Sanctuary has announced that their tour with Iced Earth will go forth as planned. The shows will act as a farewell tour in tribute to the life and memory of Warrel Dane, with guest vocals being performed by Joseph Michael of Witherfall.
Sanctuary‘s Lenny Rutledge comments: “Sanctuary has decided to continue on with the Iced Earth tour to pay tribute to our brother Warrel Dane. We have enlisted the help of our friend Joseph Michael from Witherfall. The set will consist of many old and some newer songs performed with the utmost respect and quality to honor our friend. Please join us in this farewell as we celebrate Warrel’s musical legacy with Sanctuary. We look forward to sharing this tribute with all of you.”
Joseph Michael adds, “Ok guys, i have been really quiet about this and for good reason:but Sanctuary has bestowed upon me the honor of singing with them on a farewell tribute to the inimitable Warrel Dane (RIP). I hope to see you out there to share in this celebration of a true original and sing along to some great songs.”
