ROYAL HUNT - Marcus Jidell Leaves, DC Cooper Returns
February 3, 2011, 13 years ago
ROYAL HUNT guitarist Marcus Jidell has issued the following letter:
"Dear Friends and Royal Hunt fans.
Due to my new commitments with EVERGREY I will not be able to be a part of Royal Hunt anymore.
The last five years has in every way been a great journey for me. I always felt very fortunate to be able to play with the great musicians of Royal Hunt and to have had the chance to get to know the supportive and wonderful fans of the band.
It has been years of great fun, new experiences in music and we’ve visited places I’ve never seen before. I met so many people on the road with Royal Hunt that I really hope to see again.
So now the time has come for me to move on and I want to send Royal Hunt my gratitude and I wish you all the best in the future!”
Conversely, after repeated requests from fans and concert promoters alike, Royal Hunt and their former lead singer DC Cooper mutually decided to reunite - for a very few selected dates – in order to perform the entire Paradox (their first concept album from 1997) and several of “everybody’s all-time favourite” songs from that period." Show dates have not yet been announced.
