KING DIAMOND: No European Tour Planned

According to a posting on KING DIAMOND's official web site, there are currently no plans for the band to tour Europe this year. Vocalist King Diamond and guitarist Andy LaRocque will soon begin writing songs for the next KING DIAMOND album, tentatively due in 2006.

KING DIAMOND recently completed a U.S. tour with NILE, BEHEMOTH and THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER. The band's latest studio album, "The Puppet Master", was released in 2003. A live CD, "Deadly Lullabyes Live", followed last year.
