Well, it looks like we’ll be making a brief return to Perth this October.
Two years ago, Sweet announced what was meant to be their final tour of Australia. After more than 55 years of rocking stages around the world, the band had decided it was finally time to slow things down a little and keep their touring closer to home in Europe.
Just as the Australian tour was about to begin, legendary guitarist Andy Scott fell ill and was unable to travel. After a lot of agonising, the decision was made to go ahead with the tour without him.
The boys did a fantastic job. If I’m honest, they looked a little freer on stage without the boss watching over them, and they absolutely rocked. But the message from the stage that night was clear — as soon as Andy was well enough, he’d be back.
True to his word, a new “final” tour has now been announced for October. Tickets have been purchased, plans have been adjusted, and it looks like our travels will include a quick detour back to Perth later this year.
Some things are simply too good to miss.
