Almost 40 years after the original, Ian Anderson is set to release the sequel to 'Thick As A Brick'.  The new album 'Thick As A Brick 2' will continue the story of Gerald Bostock, the original album's main character, who would now be about 50 years old. Anderson believes it makes sense to re-visit Bostock in the setting of fans examining their own youth and the aging of the 'baby boom' generation.

Anderson will be on the road this summer, performing the entire original album on it's 40th anniversary, and also playing the sequel in its entirety.  So fans will get the 'rest of the story' so to speak.

Check out the official promo video for the new release, scheduled for April 3rd, 2012:
