He sneaks in on stage during every single concert. If not for the costume, nobody would have noticed Kaizers' backline technician - Elvis.That's how he likes it. Behind the scenes, out of focus, without much attention. But today it's gonna be different. Today, the King has his 40th birthday. Happy birthday!
OK. The man we are talking about is called Tor Sørnes. He has been Kaizers' invaluable "invisible" aide on stage for about two years now. Not without experience, this guy. Earlier he has worked in the background for the not unknown a-ha.
- Without Tor, we would be a less complete band, is Janove's birthday greeting. He is calling from Heidelberg in Germany to give Tor Elvis a present on this big day.
- Today, we gave Tor a day off. We presented him with a small bodily pleasure - a trip to a massage institution. After that he will stop thinking about the daily and trivial work duties, Janove promises.
And Janove has more surprises in stock. He and the rest of the guys have prepared a special version of "Happy birthday", beating on oil barrels. The audience in Heidelberg will get to hear that tonight.
And Tor, again; Happy birthday!
