Rhapsody concert chronology |
The 20th Anniversary Farewell Tour was a concert tour by former members of Rhapsody. It was announced on November 21, 2016 by ex-Rhapsody members Luca Turilli (founder and composer), Fabio Lione (lead singer), Patrice Guers, Dominique Leurquin and Alex Holzwarth.[1] It celebrated the 20th anniversary of Legendary Tales and had a number of their classic hits played at their shows, along with Symphony of Enchanted Lands in its entirety.
Fabio has stated that the original band would no longer exist as the other members want to do different music.[2] After the tour ended, Fabio and Luca announced that they had formed a new band together with the other members on the farewell tour called Turilli / Lione Rhapsody on December 5, 2018.[3]
Keyboardist Alex Staropoli did not play on this tour.
