"Phoenix" In Year End Top 10 List
Friday, 12 December 2008
"Phoenix" was included in Lucas Aykroyd's end of year top 10:
AsiaPhoenix With all due respect to Steve Carell, you needn't be a 40-year-old virgin to hail this pomp-rock reunion. Backed by the original 1982 lineup of guitarist Steve Howe, keyboardist Geoff Downes, and drummer Carl Palmer, singer John Wetton impressively voices his post-heart-surgery love of life on reflective, super-orchestrated anthems like "Never Again".
The band is pleased to announce a new set of tour dates. First up are the German dates (see below), with more dates to follow.
