Ailsa Windsor chatted to Maroon 5’s guitarist James Valentine to find out more about the band members and their forthcoming visit to South Africa in December

And here we go with the next photoshoot. Enjoy it!

I added two more photoshoots. Enjoy them!
On a side note: As you can see, the gallery is “registered only” from now on. If you have an account, nothing has changed for you. Just log in and enjoy the gallery. If you don’t have an account, just register your desired name and wait until I activate your account. Sorry for being soo secure, but I got contacted by an agency at one of my other sites and to be honest, it’s pretty scary. The full fansite business is just a hobby for me and I don’t want to get myself into trouble. I hope, you can understand my point of view!

Although the inaugural Virgin Festival has been postponed, Maroon 5 and their special guests One Republic will still be performing live in South Africa. This three-city tour is scheduled for The Coca-Cola Dome in Johannesburg on December 13; the ICC, Durban Arena on December 14 and the Grand Arena (Grandwest) on December 17. The two American bands will be joined by local rockers The Parlotones and electro jazz dance duo Goldfish.
