Lora Beard (Journey Force/SPIN) has confirmed that the message posted on America Online is indeed from Ross Valory."Neither the CD nor any further singles will be promoted by Sony until Perrys' health improves and the band is on track for a tour. Unfortunately, there's no sense in further promotion without a booked tour to coordinate with. Steve's condition will improve and the band will tour - I'm convinced! As to when, I have no way of telling. Let's keep up the good vibes and ENDURE TILL THE TOUR!!!!!!!!"Love and Appreciation to All, Ross Valory
