At that time people weren't sure if Werrason would come after struggling to get visa's for 2 years and seeing the demand of visa's for the Schengen Area getting rejected multiple times, due to the ngulu-affair that got him arrested back in 2002 in Brussels during the Double Zenith tour.

WMMM performed the Double LSC-event (24 & 26 December 2004) without Roi David who was left behind in the Kinshasa. After this event they went back to Kinshasa for a series of concerts to return in February 2005 back to Europe to continue the tour. It is important to note that Werrason saw an event at Stade des Martyrs getting cancelled again (22 january 2005), because of authorities being afraid that his concert would create chaos. Werrason wasn't able to perform there again since 2003, seeing between 2004-2007 events getting cancelled 5 times.

Was Roi David suspended or did he have a problem with one of Werrason's crew members.

I think that Werrason had the feeling that Roi David might run away with all the succes he received with Alerte Generale. I remember many fans being dissapointed with Roi David's absence. When he finally arrived in Europe, he had crazy succes. There was one concert, I think Bataclan and the concert was a bit cold. But when Roi David jumped in, the whole public went crazy and Werrason then suddenly cutting the sebene.
