MiG Fans Forum!

Hey Guys!
We have just officially launched the MiG Fans Forum created for MiG Fans! We've been wanting to do this, but have been busy with the WWRY Forum and other stuff hence the delay.

We also have with us our two appointed mods to work with us on the forum. They are Pam and Steph, who have both helped us many times in different ways.

We hope you all will go check it out and join in the fun with us!

THOSE WERE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES
I can’t believe I have come to the last day of the tour. Tomorrow will be the final 2 shows of this journey which started in September last year. I have had such an incredible adventure. It has been a voyage of discovery in so many ways. I am filled with so many mixed emotions, but the overpowering one at the moment is sadness. I have made so many beautiful new friends on this tour. Our touring company has been such a joy to be a part of. I am so proud of all of them. In many ways I feel like their big brother, leading them on this magical journey, through strange and exotic lands and witnessing the wonderment in their eyes. From Johannesburg to Auckland to Seoul to Singapore to Hong Kong to Bangkok, this has been an extraordinary tour that has changed my life. I have learned so much and grown so much and I hope I leave this tour a better man than when I started. There are so many roads ahead, and exciting journeys await me, and I am so keen to get going on them. But for the moment, I am just going to miss my new family, as most of them I will probably not see again for a very long time. I have grown to love them all. They have been my little world for such a long time, and saying goodbye is breaking my heart. I send them my love and wish them well, and I hope they know how they have moved me, and touched my soul.

I am hanging up my ‘Galileo’ boots tomorrow and will miss him greatly too. He has been a dear old friend who never fails to bring me joy.

I leave Bangkok tomorrow night for London, and I say thank you to the Land of Smiles. You have definitely smiled on me.

Goodbye everybody, I‘ve got to go
Got leave you all behind and face the truth

Always love,

MiG

ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK
We have opened here in Bangkok and all is going well. We were not sure how the audiences would react with the language barrier and other factors, but we were relieved to see the delight and enthusiasm of the Thai people for our little show. I think we are going to be ok here in this crazy, amazing place for the short time we are here.

Have not have a chance to do much sightseeing as we have been busy with tech rehearsals all week, but I did manage to go to an island beach off the coast of Pattaya, just 2 hours out of Bangkok. Despite having engine trouble on the boat on the way back to the mainland, it was such a magnificent way to spend a day of your life.

The people of Thailand have been so kind, warm and welcoming. I am infatuated with the whole country.

I had neglected to tell you about something from my recent trip to London. I saw the English National Opera’s production of CANDIDE. Totally incredible! I must say, I am quite ignorant when it comes to opera, but the direction, design and choreography of this production was a visual spectacular: so clever, so moving, so powerful. I truly felt I was having a magical theatrical experience… it didn’t hurt that my wife Simone was on stage again, even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.

Thank you to all those who sent their sympathy wishes about Stu Sobol. I am sure his family will be thankful for your thoughts and prayers. I have dedicated my performance in WE WILL ROCK YOU in Thailand in honour of his memory. ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ was one of his favourite songs of all time. Stu, this one’s for you.

Always love,

STU SOBOL

It is with a heavy heart that I bring you the news that my ex-manager Stu Sobol, passed away in his home a few days ago from complications with pneumonia.  He leaves behind his wife and two children and a legacy in the music business, whose absence will surely be felt. At THE FIRM, Stu was instrumental in kicking off my career, as well as those of A Perfect Circle, Seether, Three Days Grace, Vanessa Carlton, Yellowcard, Hawthorne Heights, Ryan Star and Zach de la Rocha, among others. He was a very gentle and kind man with a larger than life heart who truly cared for his artists and treated me with love and respect. He took me under his wing and taught me many things about what it truly meant to be an artist.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, his freinds and to those closest to him at The Firm. He will be very sadly missed.

It was an honour and a privilege to know and work with him.

Always love,

MiG

DON’T STOP ME NOW
I am back at an airport writing this. This time I am at Heathrow, Terminal 4 about to board my Qantas flight to Bangkok. I had the most magical week in London. I know I keep saying how great every place I visit is, but I London has really been showing off this time. I have forgotten how beautiful this city is. It is probably one of my favourite cities in the world, if not my absolute No.1 city. The architecture alone is breathtaking. Every street is a Kodak moment. The weather is a little dodgey but I did have a couple of sunny days which is pretty exciting in England. London was my home for several years and I will always have a soft spot for this crazy town. If only it wasn’t so expensive! Wow! Nice when you’re earning Pounds, but…wow!

The gig yesterday at Warwick Castle was amazing. A capacity crowd of 7,000 people braved the rain and the traffic on the M40 to see us 4 singers, the English National Orchestra and the Queen Symphonic Rock band belt out 2 sets of awesome QUEEN songs. Our encore of DON’T STOP ME NOW was accompanied by a rainbow of fireworks over the historically picturesque town of Warwick. So great to see so many friends and fans out there. Even when it rained during the concert, nobody ran for cover. They simply just opened their umbrellas or put their anorak hoods over their heads. Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the heavy rain… Such a blessing to work with Mazz Murray, Rachael Wooding and Ricardo Afonso. Ricardo’s voice should be illegal. Oh. My. God!!! Thanks to Richard Sidwell and Pete Harrison for the gig. Such a pleasure!

They just called my flight, so gotta fly (that kills me every time!). Bangkok, here I come!

Always,

THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTNING, VERY VERY FRIGHTENING!

Am writing this from the departure lounge at JFK airport, on my way to London. I have just changed my socks as they were soaking wet! The Philippine-American Friendship Day Celebrations in Jersey City was spectacular! Spectacular in that the weather was outrageous! It started as such a hot and sunny day. Even though they forecasted rain, I thought that the weather guys got it wrong. It was a beautiful day. However, within what seemed seconds, the weather turned. As soon as I got out of my car in Jersey, a lightning bolt struck and the immediate thunder was deafening. Suddenly the heavens opened up and the rain came, thick and heavy. The wind blew down stalls and I struggled with the sound crew to keep the roof from flying away over the PA equipment. A man broke his arm in the ensuing storm, as a table flew on top of him. And as quickly as the storm started, it ended. The sun came out, and the crowd cheered. It took a while to dry the stage and reset the equipment, and just when it was time to re-start the festival, the wind came again and it looked like it was going to storm all over again. The officials decided to call it quits. I thought that it was such a shame to let people go home without a show, so I jumped on a table and rallied the group to sing WE WILL ROCK YOU with me! The feeling in the camp was great because it was as though we weren’t going to let anyone stop us having a good time. The organizers may think that today was a wash-out, but for me it was a great wet day out with friends and family, good food and good humour. My new moto (thanks Cuzzie!) is ‘DON’T FORGET TO LAUGH!’ and that was what we did today. It was a really great day.

I have to say a big thank you to all of those who have welcomed me home. It has been a very long road, and I am only half way home. It has been wonderful re-uniting myself with my precious little dog, but am so looking forward to finally being with my wife after 2 months apart. Your constant love and support has kept me going through all these times and have made me feel that all this is worth it.

May I also take this opportunity to thank everyone for the amazing gifts you gave to me while abroad as well as those waiting for me when I returned home. I was finally able to visit the Decca offices here in NY and they gave me those parcels that had been waiting for me while I was gone. So many amazing gifts! From those given to me at the various stage doors, to the beautiful gift that was crocheted for me here at home. THANK YOU!

Thank you to all of you for being so thoughtful. You spoil me!

Guess what? The flight is delayed.

DON’T FORGET TO LAUGH!!

Always love,

MiG

BACK IN THE MiG APPLE

I have fallen in love with New York in the summer! It has been such a joy to walk my dog Powder in Central Park and watch her run around like there’s not a care in the world. I sometimes envy that. But I wouldn’t change my life for anything, as I am soon to be re-united with my wife Simmy, as I am flying to London on Sunday straight after the Philippine-American Friendship Day celebrations in New Jersey. I have not seen her since the beginning of May. This is a crazy life!

I will be in London for but a week. I will be performing at Warwick Castle on 6 July with a 60 piece orchestra, 8 piece rock band and 3 other singers for the The Music Of QUEEN – A Rock And Symphonic Spectacular! I did a similar gig last August with the Bournemouth Symphony orchestra and it was one of my favourite gigs ever. I seem to be making quite a career out of the music of QUEEN, so thanks guys! This definitely beats working for a living. However, it is quite exhausting. I am not complaining, but it’s 3.24am here and I have just finished packing and cleaning the house for our new border. Poor Powder has no idea what’s going on.

I must sleep now, so I’ll keep this brief. Just wanted to check in and say hi and howdy from the MiG Apple. Hope all is great in your side of the world.

Always love,

MiG
