Chris Daughtry previously commented:
“This EP is ultimately about facing the things we’ve ignored within ourselves and confronting the wake-up calls that force us to go deeper. These songs unlocked something very real, honest, and visceral in me as a writer and as a human being.”
As previously reported, Tool drummer Danny Carey recently revealed that the band were in talks about a possible residency at the Las Vegas Sphere. Now, during a new interview with 99.7 The Blitz, guitarist Adam Jones further discussed the idea:
“We were supposed to open that place. We were asked, and because of ‘Game Of Thrones’ band politics, we just couldn’t make it work. And then they ended up using U2, which I think we probably would’ve gotten bumped anyway. But they have been really enthusiastic about us playing there, so we’ve been talking to them since it opened about doing some kind of residency there. And there’s just a lot of production details and budgeting and money and timing. So it’s complicated. But I think we will do it at some point.”

Bloodlines have dropped off the remaining dates on their current tour with Wolves At The Gate and Heal The Hurt. The band were unable to move forward with the shows due to a death in the family.
The group commented:
“Family, tonight we were informed that a very dear family member to our drummer Matthew passed suddenly. Due to this, Bloodlines will not be continuing our remaining dates with Wolves At The Gate and Heal The Hurt.
We believe as a family to weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice. Today, heaven gained a sweet soul into the glorious presence of our King and for that we rejoice.
To our fans, we are deeply grateful for all of you. Every conversation and encounter we’ve had with each of you left us in awe of what God is doing for this scene. Be assured that we will be back soon. Please keep Matthew and his family in your prayers as he takes this time to grieve.
To Christ be all the GLORY, forever.”
The Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan will be playing some more “Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness“ opera shows in September. The new dates will be held in Europe and the UK. Baritone Ed Parks, soprano Sydney Mancasola, mezzo-soprano Zoie Reams, and tenor Dominick Valdes Chenes will be joining Corgan for the trek. Notably, baritone Dean Murphy will replace Parks in Spain.
Tour Dates:
09/01 London, UK – Royal Festival Hall
09/02 London, UK – Royal Festival Hall
09/06 Antwerpen, BEL – Queen Elizabeth Hall
09/06 Antwerpen, BEL – Queen Elizabeth Hall
09/08 Paris, FRA – Salle Pleyel
09/09 Paris, FRA – Salle Pleyel
09/11 Madrid, SPA – Palacio Vistalegre
Corgan commented:
“The success of translating ‘Mellon Collie‘ into operatic and classical form has been one of the most satisfying experiences of my life, where on each of the seven sold-out nights in Chicago we’d finish within the raucous wave of a standing ovation. So to now take it on the road, and to Europe, too says this magical dream doesn’t have to end.”
Conductor James Lowe added:
“It has been so gratifying to discover how the nuances and layers of ‘Mellon Collie‘ reveal themselves in fresh new ways in these symphonic, choral and operatic settings. To now have the opportunity to perform this work in Europe with world-class musicians in such important venues is nothing short of thrilling.”
