The Doors, now featuring only two original members, will head back out on tour in June with dates announced for Europe.
Founding members Robbie Krieger and Ray Manzerek have topped up the line-up with former Cult frontman Ian Astbury replacing the dear departed Jim Morrison. On drums is session player Ty Dennis taking the place of Stewart Copeland (formerly of The Police) who was taking the place of John Densmore, who was dropped from the live line-up and has since sued the band. In fact, Copeland also took legal action against the group when he was dumped as well.
The Doors are working on a new studio album, their first since 1972's Full Circle.
There will also be a DVD released soon, filmed last October in Houston, Texas. The show featured a complete performance of their LA Woman album. The original album was released in 1971, just weeks after the death of Jim Morrison.
The Doors 21 Century will play a couple of American shows later this month and the European tour follow in July.
