Just noticed that David posted this on facebook. It sounds like any new tour will be some time away, if ever, and likely to be quite different in nature. It's a pity as I for one would have liked to have heard David and the Norwegian All-Stars. Good that he's on the mend.

There have been questions raised regarding my health and the possibility of future tours. My health is improved, something for which I'm immensely grateful, but it'd be jumping the gun to start putting a tour together at this early stage. Better to reach a state of full recovery and start over from there. I can't guarantee that there will be a tour, I can only say that I remain open to the idea in principle. Due to the cancellation of the last tour I've undertaken a number of other projects which are keeping me busy and have my full attention at present. The point is I can't undo what's been done and am therefore not thinking about recreating the previous tour as that's already out of step with current events, nor am I planning another. Many stars have to align to make a tour a possibility but it does remain an option even if that's all it is at present. There's strange irony in the fact that, having promised myself many times to retire from touring, the tour I most looked forward to undertaking was taken from me. This is what it means to surrender.
This page will continue to bring you news of projects both music related and otherwise. If the likelihood of a tour manifests itself this will be the place you'll hear about it first but until then I continue to travel where my interests lead me. You're always welcome to be a part of that journey, always, because without your participation the work, in whatever form it takes, ceases to be of value. Everything we produce at samadhisound has a back story of research into quality materials, design and, of course, content. But mercifully, nothing is mandatory, you choose your poison carefully.
My gratitude to all of you who've sent well wishes. I'm truly touched, as always, by your thoughtfulness.
Nothing, nobody matters.
And yet the world is full of love… (A glittering : sarah manguso)
