999 had a difficult year in 2008. Disaster struck when Arturo collapsed and ended up in hospital with Labyrinthitis - a condition that affects the balance. We didn't want to cancel the shows in Dusseldorf and Milan as it was too late in the day. I had to step in on bass as there was not enough time for another bass player to learn all the songs. We all agreed it was the best idea and everybody at the shows knew what had happened and helped us out. So a big thank you from 999 to all of the people at the shows in Dusseldorf and Milan.

The songs from our album Death In Soho have been going down well live and we have decided to extend the Death In Soho tour to promote the album through 2009 especially as the album has been recently released on vinyl. We hope to visit Brazil, Argentina, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Canada as well as the UK, so keep a look out for 999 in 2009.

Thank you all for your support in 2008 and making it possible for 33 years of 999 music.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Nick, Guy, Pablo & Arturo

DON'T FORGET TO BUY THE ALBUM "DEATH IN SOHO"
