Fans of one of the world’s greatest rock bands will be delighted at the news that Colosseum has reunited.
The progressive rock group will feature original members including legendary lead singer Chris Farlowe, alongside lead guitarist Clem Clempson and bass player and vocalist Mark Clarke. But it will also introduce exciting new musicians Nick Steed (keyboards), Kim Nishikawara (saxophones) and Malcolm Mortimore (drums).
Colosseum came to fame in 1969 when the band led by legendary drummer Jon Hiseman released its debut album Those Who Are About To Die Salute You. The band soon caused a sensation with their powerful blend of rock, jazz and classical music.
Their appearances at major rock festivals drew huge crowds and fans flocked to concerts as they performed epic works like the Valentyne Suite and Lost Angeles. More best selling studio albums followed, notably Valentyne Suite (1969) and The Daughter of Time is Truth (1970).
Changes in personnel saw the arrival of the soulful Chris Farlowe, famed for his Sixties chart hit ‘Out Of Time’ and Clem Clempson, the young blues guitar virtuoso and vocalist and bass player Mark Clarke.
