We were very much looking forward to it! But our reason for cancellation is more than positive. Mini Dregen is on his way to this world a bit earlier than planned and Papa Dregen has the most important job in the world, to welcome a mini version of him and show him his first moves! Always ahead of time like his dad!
Everything is well in Stocklahoma and hopefully we´ll see you on tour in Holland very soon again with double D´s kicking some major ass!!
