Overview

On October 26th, 2008, H.E.A.T. fans witnessed a rare and unexpected show at Firefest, Nottingham. The band had been brought in as a last-minute replacement for Pretty Maids, who were grounded by flight cancellations. Just two days before the concert, frontman Kenny Leckremo required heart surgery, leaving H.E.A.T. without a singer. Stepping up was Eclipse’s Erik Martensson, who handled several H.E.A.T. songs and a cover of Europe’s “Cherokee,” before Pekka Heino of Leverage and Brother Firetribe joined for Whitesnake’s “Fool For Your Loving” and Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer.” Erik then returned for a duet on Journey’s “Separate Ways,” closing the night with H.E.A.T.’s “Never Let Go.” Setlist: "There for You", "Late Night Lady", "Straight for Your Heart", "Cherokee" (Europe cover), "Fool For Your Loving" (Whitesnake cover), "Livin' on a Prayer" (Bon Jovi cover), "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" (Journey cover), "Never Let Go"
