	*Just a reminder to all my friends...* I will be performing at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood California on October 27 at 11 PM. The Knitting Factory is located on 7021 Hollywood Blvd. One Block east of LaBrea. Showtime is 11 PM sharp. This is going to be the first time I will perform songs from the soon to be released new Mandy Lion CD. It has been a while since my last performance in LA and I am totally looking forward to blowing the roof off of that place. The new lineup consists of Pete Holmes (Ian Gillan, Peter Gabriel), Jon Purpura (Driven By hate) and Moni on guitar of course. I am exited to see you all there! Your friend... Mandy

	*I lost a friend, a manager and mentor on Saturday. Don Arden.* I am sad to let everyone know that one of the greatest men I ever knew died on Saturday... Don Arden was more than just my manager to me... He was more than just my friend and mentor... He represented everything this industry should be about but rarely ever is... I feel lucky to have been discovered by this man amongst many other musical acts such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Black Sabbath, E.L.O., Air Supply and the list goes on and on... When it came to finding talent he was second to none... When it came to making stars out of talent he ruled supreme and his influence on music today is beyond measure. The man was a genius without a doubt... His sense of humor had me rolling countless times... His strength was an inspiration to anyone lucky enough to get to know him. I will never forget the night I met him... He came to see one of my performances without me knowing about it... I was 17 years old, clueless and determined to make something of myself... All of a sudden everyone stepped aside and a man approached me. It was literally like a scene from the Godfather... Don Arden, surrounded by what I could only guess were body guards walked up to me and simply told me that I am going to be his new Ozzy... The man had an aura of power unlike anyone I ever met. I cannot think of a day in my life when I felt more honored and sure of my path... Within weeks I had a deal with a major record company, within months a 17 year old Mandy Lion was recording an album with the Black Sabbath drummer and the Rainbow/Dio bassist and shortly after that he had me open for Iron Maiden... What a manager!!! Don... I thank you for all you have done for me... Thank you for getting me started and thank you for the priceless memories... I will miss you... David, if you are reading this... I cannot imagine your pain right now but stay strong... You are the only one who can and will continue Don's legacy... Mandy WW III frontman Mandy Lion's statement regarding the passing of Don Arden
2007-06-30		Mandy Lion update
	First off I would like to thank all of you who came out to see me on the road... It was an honor getting to meet you all. Many of you have asked why I am taking a break from touring right now and the reason is actually great news. This mini tour was a test to see how the new line-up would work and what can I say... IT DOES!!! So much in fact that we were all anxious to get back to LA to record a CD with the new guys. So the great news is that I will be recording a new with these guys and then get back on the road immediately after. The next tour is going to be on a much bigger scale of course. This time I took so much production with us it overwhelmed just about every venue I went to. I had lasers, lights, movers, snow, smoke, PA and all the trimmings... The problem was that most places I went to they didn't even have enough space for all the stuff much less enough power to enable me to use it. Kind of makes sense since I took out more production than Judas Priest and Rob Zombie combined on their last tours... So, the logical solution for that problem is that the next leg of the tour has to get booked in bigger venues so I don't have to scale down the production and give you guys a lesser show... I will keep you all informed on the progress of the new CD, new show dates, new merchandise and anything else that might come up. I also wanted to thank all of you for being so patient with me regarding answering my mail. When things get as busy as they have been I am just not able to keep up as well as usual and I appreciate you all understanding. I will always try my best to keep in touch... You guys are my chosen family... Yours truly... Mandy
2007-05-19		Mandy Lion update
	Hi everyone... I am not happy to tell you that the Las Vegas show date has been postponed yet again. For reasons beyond my control we have to move show to a later date. No date has been confirmed as of yet but I will let everyone know as soon as I have that information. I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am about this. I don't want you guys to think that I suffer from the 'Axl Rose disease'. I do NOT cancel shows unless it is absolutely impossible to make an event happen. What makes me even more sad is the fact that this event was supposed to raise money to help someone in need which will now have to wait even longer for the money this event would have generated. This was not going to be just another show but an event with a purpose. Cancelling a show is bad enough but cancelling helping a person in need makes me ill. Within the next few weeks I will give you all a more detailed statement on what happened. Again, I am sorry about this but there is nothing I can do on my end..." Your friend... Mandy
