Brian has given the following statement:

“To the Fans of Saga, I am lucky to be alive and recovering at home with my family today, October 8, 2007 after suffering a heart attack on Friday, October 5, 2007 and I anticipate a full recovery and look forward to playing drums again in the future. Regrettably, I will not be drumming for the 10,000 Days tour under medical advice. I wish the band the BEST OF LUCK with this great new CD and I would like to say that working with SAGA has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career and I will miss them greatly as friends and as talented musicians”

Michael, Jessica and I, wish Brian and his family the very best during this challenging time.

Get well soon Brian!!!

I´m glad, that Brian is doing better now and wish him all the best for the future....but I´m very sad to hear, that we won´t see him in Germany

[Mrs.C]

I second that Danny

Brian,

We wish yourself and your family all the very best wishes for the future, and that you have a full and speedy recovery

We will be travelling to Berlin to see Saga play and our thoughts will be with you on that night

We are grateful that we saw you play at the Garage, London, May 2006 and to have met you afterwards is something we will never forget

That sounds for me like an irrevocable farewell from Brian...

My very best wishes to Brian. Danny and Mrs. C find the right words.
