“We are ready for America and raring to get back in the saddle,” said Roger, with Adam adding, “We have been designing a brand new visual spectacle that will reframe these iconic songs and we are excited to unveil it!”
“This is a great opportunity,” Brian explained. “Our last tour featured our most ambitious production ever and got us our best notices ever. So we decided to rip it apart and get even more ambitious! Watch out, America!”
