David Archuleta updated fans from the latest stop of his headlining tour on his official web site blog on Saturday (March 21), having some good things to say about opening act Lesley Roy as the Irish pop rock singer wraps up the tour. The ‘American Idol’ season seven runner-up writes:

I’m in Boise right now and I’m getting ready for tonight’s show. It’s coming starting pretty soon haha. I just wanted to let you guys know that tonight is the last show I’m doing with Lesley unfortunately :(. She’s been so much fun to go on tour with! I’m really going to miss her. Her band has been really cool too. So I hope you guys have really enjoyed Lesley at the shows, because I sure have.

Lesley Roy’s guitarist Dave checked in with fans on Lesley’s blog at MySpace on Monday (March 9), thanking them for their support while they’ve been on tour opening for ‘American Idol’ season seven runner-up David Archuleta. Dave writes:

I really really appreciate all the support you have been giving to us!!! The shows have been going extremely well!!! We ditched our mediocre van the other day, and got a really pimpin’ tour bus. It’s a 2002 purple Prevost… rivaling David Archuleta’s gold Prevost… I have been having the time of my life on the road with Lesley, Tyler, and a whole mess of new guys. If we haven’t hit your city on tour yet, request us and hopefully we’ll get to come your way soon!!!

Lesley Roy checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Tuesday (January 27), talking about how she and her guitarist Dave Immerman missed flight that turned into a chance to fly the equivalent of a private jet last week. The Irish pop rock singer tells readers:

As you all know I’ve been doing a lot of travelling the past year or so and I’m pretty used to airports and schedules, I’m always on time and I’ve pretty much never missed a flight. On Friday night however, Dave and I where in Raleigh getting a flight back to NYC for the weekend, we had just finished a long tough week of travelling around doing radio promotions and shows. So we get to the airport and our flight is on time for 6:20 a few mins later it gets delayed to 8:00 so obviously Dave and myself decide to get some food and maybe a drink, after a short time in the bar we go back to our gate still thinking we are on time only to find everybody gone, the airport was pretty much closing for the night, we go to the lady at the desk and she’s like “I’m sorry we put everybody on an earlier flight, we have been calling your names for over an hour!!” So basically Dave and I didn’t hear our names and we missed our flight.

Fortunately for us, instead of having to go and find a hotel we were sent back to NYC by ourselves on a private jet, we were just lucky enough that there was a plane that needed to go back to NY!!! So we felt like complete rockstars for the next few hours, the pilot and staff on the American Airlines flight were so much fun and we had an awesome time having free drinks and singing as loud as we could on the empty jet!!!

Lesley Roy checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (January 8). The Irish pop rock singer tells readers:

2008 was an amazing year for me, I finally got to release my album, shoot a video for ‘I’m Gone I’m Going’, tour around the country with my amazing band, Dave, Tyler, Benny and Sergio, and do so many things that I had been working on all my life. But really in all honesty without sounding too cheesy 08 really showed the power of what a real audience can do, all you guys out there who have found my music, bought the album or come to my shows have really shown me that there is hope out there for a genuine artist who loves to perform and who put all their blood sweet and tears into a piece of work. You guys have called into your stations and requested my songs voted online for different competitions and really just cared about the progress of the album. All the people out there who have sent me such kind words here on MySpace about the album and their favorite songs I really do appreciate it sooooo much.
