Europe Won't Play 'Ridiculous' Farewell Tour Game
. The Europe singer also admitted he was surprised that 'The Final Countdown' became as big a global smash hit as it did after penning the track while he was still in college. Speaking to Sleazeroxx.com he explains: "Now, we've sort of been joking about that a little bit because there are so many bands that have said they've done the final tour for twenty years now. "We've said were never going to say we're doing the final tour. We're going to keep going as long as we feel like it's fun. I doubt if we're ever going to do something like that. But you never know! If we do it, it will be the final tour because we don't believe in saying something and then doing something else. I understand some bands - they think they're going to do their final tour and then they feel like 'Oh no. We can't stop.' "And there's a lot of fans coming to see you and they change their minds. I mean that's OK too. I don't want to do it to trick people or anything like that. That's ridiculous." The Swedish rockers hit the number one spot in 25 countries around the world in 1986 with 'The Final Countdown.' Tempest insists he believed the band had a strong song on their hands but even they were taken aback by its global success. "Yeah, we were surprised and I was too," continues Tempest. Read more here.
