Funeral For A Friend
Gitarrist steigt aus, Ersatz steigt ein

Nachdem Gitarrist Darran Smith am Freitag seinen musikalischen Dienst bei FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND quittiert hat, kündigt sich nun Ersatz an: Richard Boucher (Ex-Hondo Maclean/The Future) tauscht Bass gegen Gitarre und wird die Band ab sofort unterstützen.

Darran kommentiert seinen Ausstieg wie folgt:

„After almost nine years I have decided to leave the ranks of FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND. I’ve had a brilliant time with the band, which has been a journey full of amazing experiences that will be awesome memories to keep and cherish and I have nothing but love and respect for all the boys in the band (past & present) withouth whom my time in the band wouldn’t have been half as enjoyable!

I wanna send out a huge thanks to everyone that I’ve met along the way that has worked with or alongside FUNERAL, and would especially like to thank all the fans that have made this experience for me so incredible!

We have a number of shows coming up in the near future which I will be playing, up to and including SONISPHERE, and I intend to approach them not only as a celebration of my time in FUNERAL, but also as stepping out of the band and preparing to face new challenges and experiences with whatever I do in the future.

My heartfelt good wishes go out to the boys in the band and know they’ll go on to greater glories and success!

Cheers DARRAN X“
