(3/8/02, 5 p.m. ET) -- Former Love frontman Arthur Lee is clearly bent on making up for lost time. After being released from jail last December, the California musician has enlisted Baby Lemonade, recorded a new album, and has now announced a spring tour of Europe. The 22-date outing kicks off May 15 in Odense, Denmark, and will wind its way through Scandinavia and the European continent before making its way into the U.K. in early June.
In addition to Baby Lemonade, Lee has indicated that he might employ horn and string players for the tour. He has no plans yet to tour North America or to release his album on these shores.
Lee's latest jail term was for a 1996 conviction for grossly negligent discharge of a firearm, when he allegedly fired a gun into the air during an argument with a neighbor, and for possession of a firearm by an ex-felon. He served six years of an 11-year sentence before being granted parole.
