Bernie Marsden in Micky Moody (oba ex- Whitesnake) sta se odločila, da si s svojim bandom The Company Of Snakes vzameta odmor. Vzrokov za to je več, glavni pa naj bi bil v premajhni pomoči založbe. Odmor naj bi trajal nekje do sredine prihodnjega leta, potem pa je možno, da bodo snemali koncertni DVD. /M.P./
