Here’s my latest video blog from the European leg of the tour ! Enjoy.

Video blog from hospital…

adamwakeman — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 08:19:17 +0000

To kill a bit of time and ease the boredom, I thought I’d do a brief video blog from the hospital…

All better now and fortunately, I only missed one show!

Adam admitted to Berlin Hospital.

adamwakeman — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:12:44 +0000

Adam was admitted to hospital in Berlin on Sunday 29th August after having heart problems prior to the RIPfest in Prague.

On Monday morning they performed a cardioversion successfully and he was discharged tuesday evening. Adam will be rejoining the tour from tomorrow and is looking forward to getting back on the road.

He would especially like to thank Dr. Wolfram Von Housen, doctor Gunner, and all the resident doctors and nurses at the Bundeswehrkrankenhaus hospital in Berlin who looked after him so well.

The new single from Ozzy and the band is out now – here’s the video directed by Jack

http://www.ozzy.com/us/news/watch-%E2%80%9Clife-won%E2%80%99t-wait%E2%80%9D-now

Thursday 26th August and we’ve arrived now in the beautiful city of Prague and all geared up for the European leg of this tour.

The 6 Ozzfest shows were great although the rain at the Camden, New Jersey show and the final show in Boston meant the 2nd stage had to close early due to flooding.

Apologies also to the 200 or so people that queued in the rain to meet Gus and I at the ESP tent at these shows. Unfortunately, the weather is one thing we can’t much about!

Damian is in the studio now (back in the UK) recording his vocals for the Headspace album so it’s really taking shape now. I spoke to Gus G about possibly doing some shows together with his band Firewind so watch this space for shows next year once the HEADSPACE album is released and the Ozzy tour has come to an end!

More soon

18th August 2010 – No ID, no Idea….

AW blog Wednesday 18th August 2010

2 shows in now on the 6 date Ozzfest US tour and Tinley Park in Chicago last night was superb. A great show and amazing crowd. Great view from the back from this fans camera phone footage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XiPTHSPBM8

Only slight downer from last nights show is that I left my wallet in a case in the dressing room at Tinley park, which is in a truck on it’s way on a 600 mile journey to Pittsburg. This wouldn’t normally be an issue, but as we have our own plane for this tour, and my passport is having a visa put in it in New York, the news that my driving license was in my wallet was less than well received.
Trains are all sold out to Pittsburg and most of the day so far has been spent at the British Consulate here in Chicago trying to get some sort of replacement ID. This will hopefully mean I can still get on the plane tomorrow morning from Chicago. Failing that …. any fans fancy giving me a lift to Pittsburg from Chicago?

Some great HD footage here from this fan
Paranoid (with me on guitar) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Pl9lwytVQg&feature=channel

And some TV footage from the Jimmy Kimmel show in Los Angeles last week where we play on of the songs I co wrote from the album “Scream”.

Great news on the Headspace progress, Damian is going into the studio next week to record vocals for the debut album. Finally things seem to be getting towards finishing the album. It’ll be worth the wait….

Adam’s blog from Los Angeles – Monday 9th Aug 2010

adamwakeman — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 16:39:15 +0000

It’s been a pretty busy time since I’ve been over here in America. We went straight into shooting the video for the next single from the “Scream” album which is going to be ‘Life Won’t Wait”.

The parts that featured the band were shot in a Mausoleum in Alta Dina, Los Angeles which went on until 2am. Pretty spooky place to be at 2 in the morning, but very cool never the less. Needless to say, being the Prince of Darkness’s new video, it wasn’t bright lights, flowers and fairground rides which just added to the scariness!

Last couple of rehearsal run throughs over the next few days, and we’ve been trying a few new & old tracks out for Sturgis on Thursday 12th August – www.sturgis.com – which should be great. I’ve never been but I’ve heard it’s a real good laugh.

We are on the George Lopez show again next week (17th August I think) and we play another new track from the Scream album. A bit of pointless, time wasting footage filmed by me from the first trip to the TV studios can be viewed here!

Just announced is that Ozzy is headlining the Voodoo festival in New Orleans at the end of October. I’ve never been to New Orleans, and seeing as though it’s the birthplace of Dr John, my musical idol – I can’t wait to pack up some gris gris and get down there…..
More to follow soon
