CANCELS TOUR DATES: HIM
have announced the cancellation of their fall tour. The band will not
be playing scheduled U.S. shows in favor of entering the recording studio.
HIM hope fans will not be let down, but rather will look forward to
seeing them back on the road with new songs to share. The band have
been steadily writing material for their forthcoming album and are eager
to start preliminary rehearsal of very early tracks. HIM have not been
able to test any new material due to their busy touring and promotion
schedule. This fall will be the first opportunity for the band members
to talk and work out new HIM material for a 2007 release! Singer Ville
Valo explains the band's decision: «Our dearest fellowship
of the Heartagram, you haven't seen the last of us yet. We just want
to keep it fresh for you and stump you with new material. I didn't feel
that I could do that without rehearsing some of this stuff that's stuck
in my heart. We're happy to have new fans come aboard the ship, but
I feel we've got to keep it exciting and new. We've started writing
and I can't wait for you guys to hear what we're working on.»
The band have spent the last year touring non-stop behind "Dark
Light". Most recently completing a successful spring U.S. headlining
tour with stops at Jimmy Kimmel Live and Last Call With Carson Daly
along the way. To ticket holders: please contact or visit the point

NEXT ALBUM: After two-and-a-half weeks of touring and two summer

OSBOURNE), who produced "Dark Light", their latest CD. If
all goes well, Valo says, they could be in the studio by January and
putting out a new album - their sixth - by September 2007. «I've
got a lot of one-liners in lyrics and musical ideas for maybe 12 songs»,
Valo told What's Up. «But from those 12 maybe six will end
up on the album. What we're doing with the band now is trying to figure
out the sound and direction with the next one. We don't want to do the
same old, same old again. It's probably going to be a bit more aggressive,
