Great White guitarist talked about the incident happened in a Rhode Island Night Club in 2003 that "it was a full-blown American Tragedy." The incident was caused by the band's firework and killed 100 people, nearly 300 injured. Fortunately, the band did not face criminal charges; however, nearly 300 people are suing the band for compensation.

About their new album, Mark Kendall says that "Great White's original lineup has re-formed and has written new music for an album they will record before the end of the year." He says the band might tour on January, but not sure about stopping at Rhode Island. Kendall also mentions that " money from the tour will go to a fund to benefit survivors' families and victims. There will be no pyrotechnics." He says "I was sad to be a witness to the fire and it was "just a nightmare." those people in the club were like friends to the band, not just rock fans."
