Wolfmother has pulled the plug on the last six days of their current world tour due to the premature arrival of a baby boy to the band’s bassplayer/keyboardist, Chris Ross.
Chris received the surprising news of the impending birth yesterday. Not surprisingly he immediately headed for the airport and commenced a 23 hour trek back to his hometown of Sydney, Australia in an attempt to be at his partner’s side for the newborn’s arrival. While he was somewhere over Hawaii his son was welcomed into the world by the rest of his family – nearly a month ahead of schedule.
Due to Chris’ unavoidable and unexpected absence, Wolfmother has had to postpone an instore at Virgin Records in Chicago which was supposed to happen today. The performance and signing will now happen on a later date and time to be announced.
The band has also rescheduled a completely sold out concert at the Hollywood Palladium which was to happen this Thursday, September 28. This event will now happen on Tuesday December 12 and existing tickets will remain valid. Patrons who are unable to attend on December 12 can obtain a refund from the point of purchase and any such returned tickets will be made available for resale to other people over coming weeks.
Unfortunately Wolfmother’s planned appearance as part of the Viejas Concerts in the Park series near San Diego on Friday September 29 has had to be cancelled due to availability issues. Ticketholders for this show can obtain a full refund from the point of purchase: all ticketmaster outlets and the Viejas Casino gift shop. The band would like to apologize sincerely to their fans for this inconvenience and they will do everything possible to return to San Diego at some point in early 2007.
Similarly, Wolfmother will no longer be able to take part in San Francisco’s Download festival on Saturday September 30 as planned but they promise to be back in the city by the bay as part of their next US tour which will happen in late November and early December.
Meanwhile, the band will take a planned break during October to allow Chris some family time and would like to sincerely apologize to anybody who has been inconvenienced by their change of plans for this week.
In other Wolfnews, “Jackass Number 2” – for which Wolfmother’s song “Joker & The Thief” is the title track - was the #1 grossing movie in the US over the weekend. The video for the song features the Aussie group and the Jackass crew. It’s currently creating loads of online buzz and is #1 on the “Hot List” in the current edition of “Rolling Stone” magazine.
Also, last week the band was among the most nominated artists at Australia’s equivalent of the Grammy Awards (the ARIA’s). They have made the final five for major categories like Best Group, Album of the Year and Single of the Year. The winners will be announced on October 29 and Wolfmother is scheduled to perform at the gala ceremony.
Hi everyone, I'm sorry it's been a while... but I've been so busy that getting a few moments to post a blog has been tricky. Anyway, here we go. It's great to talk to you all again and even though I have been rushing around, I do always find time to read the stuff on here.
To say it's been an exciting time since the album and single came out in July, is a massive understatement! I've got the best job in the world for sure and even though I seem to spend half my life getting up at 4am to be at an airport at 6am, I wouldn't change a thing.
Since I last posted, I've been to all of these countries, all full of amazingly warm and welcoming people who seem to be loving the album; Ireland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Japan, Italy, Holland, Germany and after the October gigs here, I'll be off to Australia and New Zealand for the first time and Japan again. I can't wait!
To clear up the confusion, my next single here in the UK will be 'WONDERFUL WORLD'. It'll be in the shops on October 16th.
I'm excited about putting a 2nd single out, particularly because 'Wonderful World' is one of my absolute favourite tracks off the album. I reworked it a few times when I wrote it (as you may have noticed from the original demo version on here) but I'm really pleased with the way it's turned out. If you come to one of the gigs I'll tell you the story behind the song…
On the CD there will also be a song I like called 'My Uprising'. It nearly made the album, but we ran out of space. I've played it at a few of the smaller shows, so some of you may recognise it.
I want to say to everyone who came to the 'V' Festival and ULU that they were amazing gigs for me, because you made them feel that way! To hear you all singing along to so many of the songs was a totally uplifting experience and something very new, so thank you.
I'm already looking forward to the UK dates we've been able to squeeze in during October, and the December shows are nearly sold out in most places, so that's fantastic! I've added an extra show at London Astoria on 10th December to try and get to play to a few more of you…
If you're outside the UK, I have gigs coming up in Amsterdam, Cologne, Milan, Sydney, Melbourne and Tokyo, so check out my upcoming shows on MySpace and let's see you there.
I've also really enjoyed all the posts on here with photos from the shows, so please keep 'em coming!!

Cicely Saunders
Cicely Mary Strode Saunders * 22. Juni 1918 in Barnet, Hertfordshire; † 14. Juli 2005 in London) war eine englische Ärztin, Sozialarbeiterin und Krankenschwester. Neben Elisabeth Kübler-Ross gilt sie als Begründerin der modernen Hospizbewegung und Palliativmedizin.
Sie besuchte die Roedean School, St Anne's College, Oxford, St Thomas's Hospital und die Nightingale School of Nursing, wo sie zur Krankenschwester (nurse) ausgebildet wurde. Später wurde sie Ärztin.
1948 erbte sie £ 500 um ein Hospiz zu eröffnen. Es dauerte aber noch 20 Jahre, bis 1967 das St. Christopher's Hospice in Sydenham im Südosten Londons eröffnet werden konnte.
Ihre Überzeugung, dass es möglich ist, die letzten Tage eines Menschen angenehm zu gestalten, trug sie in die Welt. Die Entwicklung von Palliativmedizin und Hospizen sind ganz wesentlich ihr zu danken.
Sie wurde als einzige Frau im 20. Jahrhundert Ehrendoktor der Medizin in England (1989, durch den Erzbischof von Canterbury), diverse andere Ehrungen wie den Titel "Dame" (1980; ähnlich im dt. Kaiserreich die Freifrau), brit. Order of Merit (1989) und den Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize (2001; dotiert mit 700.000 engl. Pfund).
Sie war zweimal verheiratet.
Als Christin lehnte sie Lebensverkürzung (Euthanasie) strikt ab. Sterben war für sie die Chance, Freunden und Familie noch einmal Danke zu sagen.
In Großbritannien gibt es nun 220 Hospize, und weltweit über 8.000.
Sie selbst starb 87jährig in dem von ihr eröffneten Hospiz
