Heavy metal band Hellion's record label has dismissed reports the rockers are to reunite for a series of shows this summer - concerts claiming to feature the group are actually being headlined by a tribute band.
The stars originally formed in 1982, and have been on a hiatus since the release of 2003 album Will Not Go Quietly.
They were alleged to be reforming for a series of gigs in clubs and theatres across North America later this year, but a spokesman for New Renaissance Records has denied the band's reunion, blaming the confusion on a group illegally calling themselves Hellion.
Representative Tony Collatta says: "It came to our attention that a group calling itself 'Hellion' booked themselves into a series of clubs and theaters in the U.S. and Canada.
"The imposters not only used the Hellion logo, but also included the song 'Screams In The Night' in radio commercials and photos of singer Ann Boleyn on flyers and other advertising."
Frontwoman Boleyn is currently teaming up with original Detente members Dennis Butler, guitarist Caleb Quinn and bassist Steve Hochheiser to perform at the Headbangers Open Air festival in Germany this July, reports Blabbermouth.net.
Collatta adds, "Ann seems very happy with the way Détente is sounding and seems to be focusing her effort in that direction. However, she has no intention of giving up ownership or control of band name 'Hellion.'"...
