Did you spot the April Fool's joke on the Hercules website? There were in fact two news items that we made up this year.

Probably the most obvious one was the news item "Colosseum to be renamed". Did you try to attend the press conference at Casears Palace on April 1, 2004? Well, sorry ... we made that story up. Although we still believe it would be more than appropriate to rename the venue.

The second April Fool's joke apparently was a lot less obvious: Lots of fans called our faked phone number in Las Vegas and sang their heart out (news item "See 'The Red Piano' and meet Elton"). Congratulations to all of you, you all indentified the correct songs. Unfortunately, there are no prizes to give away, and in fact there isn't even a radio station by the name of Kool 98.5 FM in Las Vegas.

We hope you won't hate us for these jokes. We were sure that Elton fans are humorous people, so we thought we could get away with this.
