MICHAEL SCHENKER: 'I Have Been Threatened'

November 20, 2005

Legendary guitarist Michael Schenker (MSG, UFO, SCORPIONS) has posted the following message on his web site:

"I have been threatened and don't feel safe coming back to the States. Even after making support payments I was told that this was turned over to support enforcement and that I must pay or the measurements would be severe. I am being threatened with my passport being suspended, my assets frozen and jail time. Please understand I cannot return until this situation had been resolved."

Michael Schenker has spent the last few months working on a special CD to celebrate the 25-year anniversary of MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP. Entitled "Tales of Rock 'n' Roll", the album will feature guest appearances by past MSG singers, including Robin McAuley, Kelly Keeling, Gary Barden, Leif Sundin and Chris Logan. A total of 18 tracks are being recorded.
