I know these guys have got to be tired doing this many shows in one month. I just want to thank them for all they do for us fans!!! I will be one of the lucky ones to see both Memphis and Knoxville TN shows upcoming. Hope to see everyone there.

Opeth on Hiatus: Mikael Åkerfeldt, from the stage at the Sound Academy in Toronto last week, in addition to doing some funny stuff, like playing Bryan Adams, said:
The band is in need of a rest. They're taking some time off to work on a new record. They WILL NOT BE TOURING NEXT YEAR. Is that ok with us? Will we still turn out once they start touring again?
That got a big cheer, of course.
Now, two different people have tried adding this fact -- NO OPETH TOUR NEXT YEAR -- to the Wikipedia Opeth page. But the "gatekeeper" there has deleted it both times, because this fact is UNSUPPORTED and UNDOCUMENTED.
So, could someone official update Wikipedia? Or, alternatively, could someone confirm this information, so someone else can fix Wikipedia?
Thanks from Toronto. Great show by the way. Even better than last year.

"The band makes each gig seem like a significant moment in Opeth’s career." (About.com) So true.
