Vocalist Mike Tramp (Ex-WHITE LION) has booked some overseas dates this fall in October and November, mainly in Denmark. Mike is currently in the midst of a U.S. tour and you can check out the dates below.

In Addition, Tramp recently took to Facebook to clear the air over his displeasure of some negative posts regarding the question of a possible WHITE LION reunion.

Mike posted the following:

"Ok Guys and Girls, I'll give it one more attempt, although i already knew it would fall on deaf ears.

I don't say these things to piss anyone off or disappoint those who get disappointed by it. But when facts are facts, then why can't you let sleeping Lions lie, no pun intended.

I do notice that there are few wise cracks out there who's got nothing else to do than make stupid comments, like they didn't know our planet was round, and i reality I should just ignore it and most times I do. But it still floors me that you don't get the point. My Facebook is about information and when I post stuff it is to let you know the facts. I am not interested ever in getting into what goes on, on other peoples Facebooks or Twitter around the world, there is already too much hate and destruction going on amongst mankind, I don't want to be part of, so let's keep it simple, this is a place of kindness and peace.

When I say there isn't going to be any WHITE LION reunion, why is it so damn hard to understand? We don't want to play together and I personally don't want to do that kind of stuff anymore. In 20 years I have not spoken to Vito more than possibly 5-6 hours. It's a fact, just let it be. What has Vito done since WHITE LION's break up 9/2/91, Nothing…. Doesn't that speak loud and clear. Why would you want to marry the person who you divorced long ago or hang out with the kid who bullied you all through your high school years, just as an example?

I am not the one adding WHITE LION on the poster at upcoming shows or announcing it as Mike Tramp from WHITE LION. This is a classic club-owner thing, and God knows every damn fool out there does it. But I will gladly play my heart and soul out for the 10 people that will show up to see me play if there isn't a WHITE LION name attached to my name. Still I don't think that will be the case as most of you who now show up to the shows own my solo albums and praise me for what I do, and come to hear just that.

But don't I respect the history and all of you by playing at least 11 WHITE LION songs in my set, so where is the problem?

I just don't understand all these wise cracks and stupid comments. if you've got nothing good or informative to say, then don't say anything. Or if you don't like me or what I do, just don't come here. This is a place for friends, this is a place where people who like what I do come to hang out and share.

I don't need any advise from anyone of what to do. I think it is loud and clear what I stand for and I don't think that I intentionally try to offend anyone. My "Ten Remindments" is about not have to answer the same questions a million times, it is a guide, not a declaration of war.

And to John Whitfield who asked what is the worst accommodation I ever had on tour. It is without a doubt, the Bus I slept on outside the Snooty Fox, in Wakefield, UK earlier this year, OUCH!"
