Die finnische Melodic Death Metal Band Omnium Gatherum muss auf der bevorstehenden Tour leider auf ihren Sänger Jukka Pelkonen verzichten. Bei Jukka wurde Lymphdrüsenkrebs diagnostiziert, was nun selbstverständlich behandelt werden muss. Die anstehende Tour, welche auch sie am 21.02.2026 ins Kiff nach Aarau führt, findet trotz aller Widrigkeit statt. Als Vertretung springt für die Tour Henry Hämälainen von Shade Empire ein. Hier sein Statement dazu
Hello friends
It is Jukka from OG. I have to inform you I won’t be able to participate on the upcoming European tour. This is because I have been diagnosed with Lymphoma. And now this serious situation requires my full attention.
But worry not. OG is a train which is not easily stopped. After a careful dialogue and concideration with my brothers in OG we decided to ask a talented individuall to join the tour. He is Henry Hämäläinen ( @shadeempireofficial / @halysisofficial ). An experienced singer and a frontman. We think he is more than suitable to headbang with OG on this tour.
Here is a greeting from Henry:
„Hi there OG family, Henry here!
While I’m truly saddened by Jukka having to step away from this tour, I’m extremely honored to be called upon in the band’s time of need.
The trust shown by the whole band – and especially Jukka himself – means a lot to me.“
As a silver lining, the tour is still happening in its entirety and we’ll make sure it’s going to be one hell of a ride! Even with this setback, the spirit of OG is strong, so see you all at the shows!
