Steve Hackett has announced a Best of Genesis And Solo Gems tour for England and Scotland for October. The tour starts at Camridge's Corn Exchange, culminating with a return visit to London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall.
Hackett has also announced changes in personnel for his touring band, with longtime keyboard player Roger King having announced in July that the band's upcoming US tour with Hackett and his band will be his last. He will be replaced by Swedish keyboard player Lalle Larson, who has worked with The Flower Kings, Karmakanic, Agents Of Mercy, among others. At the same time, German drummer Felix Lehrmann, who has also worked with The Flower Kings, will replace Craig Bundell.
"The main thing is to keep a focus on the music which drives it all, but there will be some big changes in the band,” says Hackett, “Both Craig and Roger are amazing musicians, and I know Lalle Larsson and Felix will be equally fantastic.
“I’ve never worked with Lalle Larsson before but he’s completely brilliant and more than qualified for the job involving recreating Genesis circa 1971 to ’77. He’s a total virtuoso. We’ve already been working with Felix Lehrmann and listening to him with Jonas Reingold on bass is like a thousand iron girders coming at you at 100mph!”
Larson and Lehrmann join regular Hackett band members Jonas Reingold (bass), Nad Sylvan (vocals) and Rob Townshend (saxophone, flutes, additional keyboards).
"I have some extraordinary performers in the band,” adds Hackett. "And I’m very happy with this level of virtuosos. These guys are all incredible professionals."
