LOS ANGELES, March 7, 2016 (Gephardt Daily) — In a statement today on his Facebook page, singer/songwriter Michael Nesmith ended any rumor of him appearing in the upcoming Monkees “Good Times 50th Anniversary Tour.”
The tour, which will now feature original band members Peter Tork and Micky Dolenz (lead singer Davy Jones passed away in 2012), begins May 18 in Ft. Myers, Florida, and ends on Oct. 29 in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania.
Mike Nesmith has opted out of a few nostalgia performances over the years, but has remained very friendly with his former band members. He wrote the following statement on his Facebook page:
“Dear friends, followers and all Monkees fans everywhere;
“In the scheme of things this is a tiny piece of information — but I felt I needed to post it to be clear and answer questions that are coming in.
“I have no plans to be on the Monkees tour that M&P (Micky & Peter) are doing this Summer.
“The world turns, things change, true — but right now such an event is practically certain not to be, and definitely not on my schedule now.
“The Monkees show they do is perfect for hearing Monkees music and enjoying a remembrance of those times — M&P work hard and put on a good show. I encourage you to see it.
“All rumors that I will be performing with them are simply not true. I have no plans to do any shows on this tour.
“yours truly
“– the mouth of the horse”
