MICHAEL SCHENKER's Manager Blames Impostor For Spreading Rumors About Guitarist's Health

May 13, 2004

Legendary guitarist Michael Schenker's personal manager, Nancy Lewis, has released the following statement via a Japanese Michael Schenkerfan site:

"Michael received a strange untraceable email 2 weeks ago He is not dying, not sick or anything else, well, he had a cold. Some person has circulated emails on the entire net that Michael was in bad shape and it has caused quite a commotion. Since we share the same Internet accounts, they got into my computer as well and all my sent mail was deleted as well as Michael's. I am sorry if this has caused anyone any harm but since we both save our emails in storage it was easy to fabricate a story to look like it was based on fact. All emails of that type would have been posted on Michael's personal site as there have not been any emails to this site for a while. If any of you have received emails saying they were from me and still have them please forward them back to me at [email protected]. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THERE IS NOTHING, I REPEAT NOTHING, WRONG WITH MICHAEL SCHENKER. I CAN ONLY FEEL COMPASSION FOR THE PERSON OR PERSONS WHO WOULD DO THIS TO MICHAEL THANK YOU AND I AM SORRY THIS HAS HAPPENED. Nancy Lewis, Personal Manager for Michael Schenker."
