The lead singer of Saxon, Biff Byford and his family have been made homeless after his house in Normandy, France, was completely destroyed by a fire which started over the weekend. Thankfully the whole family escaped and no-one was injured.

It is for this reason that Saxon and their management are sorry to announce that they have decided to cancel their planned Lionheart tour in March 2005 UK.

These daytes will be postponed till September/October 2005 TBC.
