Kee Marcello: Tells All In "The Rock Star God Forgot"

Former Europe guitarist Kee Marcello will release his controversial autobiography, "The Rock Star God Forgot", in Sweden on October 19th.

Marcello just made headlines in the biggest Swedish newspaper with a painfully honest interview about the memoir, which is said to be "the first sex, drugs and rock and roll book ever written by a Swede."



"The Rock Star God Forgot" is scheduled for release in the rest of the world in English during 2012.


On October 21th, Marcello will release an album, Redux: Europe, featuring several new tracks alongside modern, heavier-sounding re-recordings of hits from Marcello's previous bands Europe and Easy Action. Also scheduled for release on the same date are remastered and repackaged versions of Kee's two earlier albums, "Redux: Shine On" and "Redux: Melon Demon Divine".


When asked why he chose to re-record Europe songs, Marcello said, "'Redux' is Latin for 'reclaim' or 'take back,' and that's what I'm doing here. These songs are part of my past and I wanted to bring them into the future."


"Redux: Europe" will be released in the rest of the world on Friday, January 13th, 2012.
 

In early 2012, Kee Marcello will embark on a European tour with the following line-up: Kee Marcello: Lead Guitar, Lead Vocals;Jonny Scaramanga: Guitar; Ken Sandin: Bass; Paul White: Drums.
