June 20, 2003 Open Letter to all Saga Fans: I think it is appropriate at this time, to let you know that these shows in July, up to the Hamilton show, (July 12th) will be my last with Saga. It is after careful consideration that I have decided to leave the band. I feel that I can no longer function within the present framework, so, it is time for me to take my leave and move on to new and different pursuits. It's not an easy move to make after twenty six years of playing together, but one, obviously, that I have to make. This is not the result of some blowout, or fight with any member of the band, but rather has to do with external circumstances that seem to be beyond my control. So, I wish the other members, Jim, Mike, Ian and Daryl, all the best, and I know that we will remain friends regardless of the state of Saga. I would also like to thank all the fans that have been so supportive over the years. Without you, none of us could have accomplished the great body of work that Saga has recorded to date. Best wishes, Steve |

July 15, 2003 To all the fans, Well, my last Saga gig is now over. I picked up my drums after the last show in Hamilton Saturday night, and now, I'm on my own and preparing for the new situation. Nicole and I are taking a couple of weeks off to relax, then it's straight into the new stuff!! Thanks to everyone for the gifts that I received at the shows. It was wonderful to have so much support!!! I hope to see you all again soon!! Stay tuned!!! Steve |
