BIG BIG TRAIN Release Animated Video For "Proper Jack Froster"; March 2022 UK Tour Cancelled
Today sees the release of the animated video for "Proper Jack Froster", the latest single from Big Big Train, taken from the forthcoming Welcome To The Planet album. "Proper Jack Froster" is based on a story from Gregory Spawton's childhood in the Midlands in the UK in the 1970s.
Work on the video by Swedish animator Love Andreas Gson Fagerstedt began before the untimely, tragic passing of Big Big Train’s singer David Longdon on November 20. David's partner and the band have decided that the video should still be released to help to promote the forthcoming album to the fullest extent possible.
Watch the video below:
Big Big Train’s March 2022 UK tour will now not take place; ticket holders should contact their point of purchase for information on refunds. Prior to David’s death the band had been on the verge of announcing a North American tour consisting of over 20 shows in May and June 2022. This projected North American tour will also not be taking place.
The band will be making an announcement next year about its future, including regarding the September 2022 shows that are scheduled to take place in the UK. Ticket holders for these September shows are encouraged to retain their tickets for the time being pending that further announcement. No further comment will be made about the band’s future before next year.
The release of Welcome To The Planet will continue on January 28, six months after the band’s Top 40 album, Common Ground
The new album sees Big Big Train retain their progressive roots but also take influence from all spheres of music. The four recent singles "Proper Jack Froster", "Made Of Sunshine", "The Connection Plan" and "Lanterna" are also included along with keyboard player Carly Bryant's first Big Big Train writing credit and lead vocal on the captivating title track.

Почему-то на Дарксайде эта новость не прошла, но, к сожалению, это последний альбом вокалиста Дэвида Лонгдона. 20 ноября он ушёл из жизни в возрасте 56 лет. Детали не разглашались, но, предположительно, причиной явился дорожный инцидент. С его приходом группа получила большой толчок в развитии и его смерть огромная для них потеря. Ну и просто по-человечески жалко...
