JOHN NORUM will release his 9th solo album titled ”Gone To Stay” on October 28th, 2022. While mostly known as the founder and lead guitarist from the rock band Europe that quickly took the name as Sweden’s biggest rock export with the songs “The Final Countdown“, “Carrie” and “Rock The Night“, and has sold over 15 million albums worldwide, Norum is without a doubt one of the best guitar players and songwriters of his generation.
Wig Wam vocalist Age Sten Nilsen sings two tracks, Europe’s Mic Michaeli plays keys on one song, former Talisman guitarist Fredrik Akesson has a few contributions. Main contributors here are drummer Peer Stappe, who co-produced the album with John, while also playing keyboards plus bass player Fredik Bergenstrahle, the steady man on the four strings.
Kelly Keeling (who sang on John’s albums ‘Another Destination’ and ‘Worlds Away’) is back for a part during the hard rocking song ,,Terror Over Me’’, one of the best moments of the whole album. John sings the rest himself and he does a satisfactory job on that.
