YNGWIE MALMSTEEN Loses Over 50 Pounds, Becomes A 'Health Nut'

November 9, 2004

The following message was sent earlier today (Nov. 9) to YNGWIE J. MALMSTEEN fan club members from the fan club's director, Anne Petty:

"Just got off the phone with Yngwie. Had a wonderful chat for a little over an hour, and got quite a few questions answered for the next newsletter. The new album is mixed, and he is just working on the sequencing of tracks before it is mastered. I know the album title, but I'm not allowed to tell. It might leak out anyway, but I'll say no more until he gives me the green light on that. This album will be quite long, with many different moods and styles of songs.

"He was very upbeat, in a great mood, can't wait to get out on the road early next year to promote this new effort. Says he's in great health — has turned into a health nut, no alcohol, no cigarettes, lots of tennis and working out. Has lost over 50 pounds. It's all good!"

A photo of the newly slimmed down Yngwie can be seen on the eBay auction page for the 1996 Malmsteen Model Fender Stratocaster which he is currently selling.
