The statement from David coverdale was announced on Whitesnake's official site on May 17. And Doug commented about it on his official board. Statement from David Coverdale May 17 "My sincere apologies that I have to disappoint our Chilean friends by cancelling tonight's show in Santiago. Following a very uncomfortable night of coughing and difficulties breathing I arranged to see a doctor early this morning. The doctor strongly recommended I cancel this evening's concert to avoid damaging my vocal cords. He is confident that a few days rest with the medications he's prescribed will be sufficient to restore my well being, so our shows in Lima & Mexico City will not be affected. Once again, I can only express my regrets & I sincerely hope to make up for this whenever I can." Doug's comment on his official board "Just wanted to post to you guys and also the WS fans in Chile. I am really sorry that we wont get to play the gig here Santiago. It sucks big time. Well, we ran into a bit of rough luck yesterday. The airline that we used to fly from Argentina to Chile changed to a different plane and our equipment got bumped to a flight that was very very late. We had no gear...no guitars no nothing, so last night the show needed to be moved to today. Then, last night DC got a really bad cough and had a hard time to breathe, so he didnt get to sleep all night. He saw a doctor, and the doc said he was ordered to rest. Even though DC would have wanted to play, he has to follow what the doctor said. The shows have been really cool and DC has been kicking ass....Its really really a big disapointment for us as we were so up for playing last night, and then again tonight. I know we will get back here as soon as its possible. Sorry.. Doug " 2008.05.12 Whitesnake's Japan Tour is confirmed!

See more photos Exclusive: WHITESNAKE - Acoustic Showcase In New York City As part of an industry-only showcase for the forthcoming Good To Be Bad, WHITESNAKE legend David Coverdale stopped into the Big Apple to promote the excellent new album. Claiming that the reformation is something of a "mission from God" and imploring the assemblage to heed the "gospel of the Snake," comedian turned frontman entertained an intimate gathering at the Cutting Room, in Manhattan, accompanied by guitarist Doug Aldridge. Taking questions between songs, the re-vitalized Snake performed (in order): 'Give Me All Your Love', 'Can You Hear The Wind Blow', 'All I Want , All I Need', 'Lay Down Your Love', 'Fool For Your Lovin', 'Deeper The Love', (great old-school blues of) 'Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City' ("We need bongos!") and a rousing, audience participation 'Here I Go Again'. Coverdale played the jester, something between Monty Python & Shakespeare, ad-libbing, "Let's do ('All I Want, All I Need') in Renaissance style, in honor of (former DEEP PURPLE cohort) Ritchie Blackmore. Shakespeare DID write Slide It In." Then adding the absence of a drummer, despite a kit being provided, "Thanks for the drummer not showing up. Where the fuck is Carmine (Appice)?"

The TV program "SONGS" will be broadcasted on January 30. Masanori Sera - he debuted in 1977 with the rock band called "Twist". He appealed to the Japanese music fans widely, and made many hit songs. After the band broke up, he worked as an actor alongside working as a musician. He acted in the TV drama like "Taiyo Ni Hoero", and the movies like "Gokudoh No Tsuma Tachi", "Kanzo Sensei". He is highly estimated as an actor. This program expresses his new music world through his acoustic session with the American guitarist he's been working for many years, looking back to his music work in 30 years, Moero Ii Onna (Masanori Sera) Yadonashi (Masanori Sera) Anta No Ballad (Masanori Sera & Doug Aldrich) Hikigane (Masanori Sera & Doug Aldrich) Jacaranda (Masanori Sera) (From NHK "SONGS" website) NHK SOGO January 30 23:00 - 23:29 NHK SOGO February 5 (Rebroadcast) 1:50 - 2:19 NHK BS2 February 6 8:30 - 8:59 2008.01.22 Brand new studio album "GOOD TO BE BAD" to be released end of April To celebrate their 30th Anniversary, Whitesnake will release “Good to Be Bad”, through SPV / Steamhammer end of April in Europe and USA - their first studio album in a decade. The album features 11 new, slamming Whitesnake songs which are guaranteed to take their place alongside their multi-million selling catalogue. Legendary front man, David Coverdale, says, “The new album contains all the elements I enjoy about Whitesnake, and more. I can hear moments that take me back to the bluesy, early years of the band all the way through the band's musical history to fully embrace the more electric aspects of where we are now, as a band. I'm thrilled with it and can hardly wait to unleash it on an unsuspecting public! If this is indeed the last Whitesnake studio record then I'm happy to finish like this. It was a labour of love making this record...a joy... and I'm still enjoying listening to it. Can't be bad!" The 11 new songs, written by Coverdale & guitarist Doug Aldrich (who also co-produced the album with Coverdale & Michael McIntyre) provide a good balance of 8 rocking tracks and 3 ballads. Coverdale feels it's the first 'real' Whitesnake album in almost 20 years, commenting “It's very butch. Very muscular..." Tracks: Call On Me, Can You Hear The Wind Blow, Best Years, All I Want All I Need, Good To Be Bad, All For Love, Summer Rain, Lay Down Your Love, A Fool In Love, Got What You Need, 'Til The End Of Time With their blend of hard rock, soul, blues, and balladry plus a healthy dose of priapic posturing and good time fun, Whitesnake brings a welcome, positive energy to the current musical climate. Additionally, Whitesnake will be taking to the road with Def Leppard, playing a series of co-headline shows across the UK, major festivals and headliner shows in summer of 2008. The internationally renowned, multi-platinum band will be featuring songs from David Coverdale’s colourful career including the hits (for the choir to join in with) and new material from ‘Good To Be Bad’. This is an opportunity to experience the ultimate line-up and celebrate 30 years of Whitesnake, who are:- Doug Aldrich on guitar; Reb Beach on guitar; Timothy Drury on keyboards; Uriah Duffy on bass; Chris Frazier on drums and of course, the inimitable David Coverdale on vocals. “I can’t wait to get back on stage ? after being in the studio for most of 2007 I am most definitely ready to let off some steam.
