' "Europe reuniting
'
' STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -- Europe, the poodle-haired 1980s rock band, is planning a comeback.
'
' The Swedish band, known for its hit "The Final Countdown," is recording an album with new material, and a world tour is planned.
'
' "After the first band jam in years it felt so right, like we've just been away for a lunch break," drummer Ian Haugland said recently.
'
' Singer Joey Tempest said the new music is "fresh and hard but still with the typical Europe melodies in focus."
'
' Europe split up in 1992. They reunited for a millennium concert in Stockholm on New Year's Eve 1999. No word on what Asia is doing."
'
' Finally after years of waiting, and multiple worn out copies of "The Final Countdown" Europe is reuniting. A huge void in the world of hair metal will finally be filled.
