KAMELOT werden beim diesjährgen BANG YOUR HEAD FESTIVAL für VIRGIN STEELE einspringen, die aus gesundheitlichen Gründen abgesagt haben. Frontmann David DeFeis ist aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach schwer erkrankt und muss im Festival-Zeitraum eine Reihe medizinischer Untersuchungen über sich ergehen lassen. KAMELOT werden nach 1998 und 2001 ein weiteres Mal beim BANG YOUR HEAD spielen. Das offizielle Statement des VIRGIN STEELE-Managements zur Absage der Band:
While undergoing a medical exam to discover the source of a severe, persistent pain, additional serious health issues were discovered that need attention, and it has been suggested by medical authorities that David DeFeis undergo further testing and treatment procedures. Since time is of the essence and these procedures will be ongoing, (several are scheduled for the week of these Festivals), therefore it is with a heavy heart and sincere regret that we must unfortunately announce to you that the Group must bow out of these two engagements. We thank you all for your understanding and patience, and we assure you that the Band will be back onstage with you all once again shortly.
