Stratovarius

Stratovarius have reunited

Something that many of you have wanted to happen has happened: Stratovarius have reunited. Timo Tolkki, Timo Kotipelto, Jörg Michael, Jari Kainulainen and Jens Johansson are back together.
The band's words: "Since his breakdown in April, we have patiently been waiting for Timo Tolkki's health to improve. It has been, and since about 6 weeks he has been strong enough to go back to work.
Also during the past months, after much talk, soul-searching and reflection most of the damage within the band has been repaired. The rest of us now understand Timo's condition, and have slowly come to terms with it. There has been forgiveness, and everyone has a good relationship again.
Many of the immense problems we were facing have now found concrete solutions.
Lastly, we can announce that work is already in progress on completely new material."
