Robby's website news page has been updated with this:
Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger announced plans for a Doors reunion show September 6 at the California Motor Speedway just outside LA County. John Densmore is expected to participate but due to a health concern, there is a possibility his doctors will forbid him from playing. In that event, The Doors have already arranged for an alternate world class drummer to fill in.
Ian Astbury will handle the majority of the lead vocals and there will be special guest vocalists and musicians as well. With the exception of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 1972 and last year's VH1 Storytellers special, the band has not played in concert since they disbanded in 1973 -- in fact, September 2, 1972 was their last concert so it's is almost 30 years to the day.
In Spring of 2003, the band will announce tour dates for the US and Europe. After that tour it is expected The Doors will go into the studio to record an album of new material. Already Robby, Ray and John have been writing new songs
