Don't miss the upcoming shows for any reason as Luca, Dominique, Patrice, Alex and me are ready to invest our heart and soul once again in this new great adventure, sharing some unique and wonderful emotions in the name of RHAPSODY's music." And guitarist Luca Turilli continues: "We can not imagine a better ending for this amazing »Farewell Tour« than touring in Europe for a new and last time after so many years. It will be pure magic and in each show we will present a memorable setlist full of legendary classics, some surprises and a few songs never played before. See you soon!"
