Timo Tolkki of Stratovarius stabbed in Spain

Timo Tolkki was assaulted in the centrum of Granada on Sunday as he was
having a walk. According to Stratovarius keyboard player Jens Johansson,
who witnessed the attack, the man was extremely agitated and had "a
Hispanic looking appearance". As he attacked, he shouted "Tolkki". He was
armed with what seemed to be a box cutter.

Tolkki was taken to a nearby hospital, where Dr. Fernandez treated him. He
was admitted to emergency care. He had two stab wounds on his left arm and
a facial contusion. His wounds were cleaned and bandaged and he was
released from hospital care.

We would like to ask anybody with any information about the attacker to
contact the police.

Tolkki comments that he is "shocked and horrified" by what happened.
"Apparently this guy had been stalking me. The bastard attacked me from
behind", Tolkki continues. "I can take anything, but that was such a
cowardly act, you know. He got me with the knife twice and punched me in
the face. Then he ran away. The whole thing lasted just seconds. Now I am
thinking that this might be the end of my career. I do not want to end up
like John Lennon. I don't know if I want to continue Stratovarius anymore".

When asked if he thinks that the attack has something to do with the resent
changes in Stratovarius line up and the death threats he has received,
Tolkki comments: "of course I feel there is a connection to that. Why would
anybody attack me like that otherwise? What possible other motive this guy
could have had than that? I think he tried to kill me, but this time I was
lucky".

Stratovarius performed on Saturday night as a headliner of Piorno Rock
Festival in Granada, Spain.

Meine Güte, was ist das eigentlich momentan mit Stratovarious???
Chaos, Streit, Morddrohungen, verrückte Aussagen von Tolkki, jetzt ein "Anschlag"???
Verrückte Welt...

Die Band bringt ja dickere Schlagzeilen, als alle Promi-und Klatschnews von RTL I, II, III + IV, Sat.1 und Bild zusammen! :eek:


Schön wars gewesen mit ihnen. Zum Glück hab ich mir sie in Wacken ein erstes und leider einziges Mal in der alten Zusammensetzung von schön weit vorne angeguckt. :)



Aber in Bezug auf den Messerstecher: Ist schon schlimm, was eine Band bei Menschen für Reaktionen hervorrufen kann. :(

ich war ja auch in Granada. Beim Frühstück sassen die schon nicht zusammen und die Stimmung war echt scheisse. Es kann ja überall mal Streitereien geben, aber ich finde es arm, dass man das in der Öffentlichkeit so austragen muss. Vollkommen unprofesionell!

Ich habe nur mitbekommen, dass Strato am gestern abend eine "Krisensitzung" hatten und die Jungs deshalb einen Tag länger in Granada geblieben sind.

Voellig asich... Gab's auch mal bei Hammerfall als irgendson Assi dem Saenegr voll aufs Maul gekloppt hat... es gibt schon sehr merkwuerdige Zeitgenossen!

Ja...irgendwie eine Flasche auf'n Kopp oder so...und klischeehafterweise war es auch noch ein "Black Metaller"...zumindest soweit ich informiert bin

Tolkki wurde in Granada von einem "spanisch" aussehendem Mann, der "Tolkki" gerufen hat, mit ner Art Teppichmesser von hinten angegriffen. Tolkki wurde am linken Arm und in Gesicht verletzt, im Krankenhaus verarztet und hat nun noch weniger Bock auf Stratovarius als vorher.
