STREAM OF PASSION - Lead Guitarist And Keyboardist Call It Quits, Remaining Members Vow To Continue
March 7, 2007, 17 years ago
STREAM OF PASSION have issued the following update in the wake of co-founder/guitarist Arjen Lucassen (AYREON) announcing his departure from the band earlier this week:
"Hi everyone,Since our last tour we've received a lot of inquires about the future of SOP. As you may have heard on the Ayreon website, Arjen has been going through a very rough period on in his life; he has decided to quit the band and focus entirely on his new Ayreon album, which we know for sure will be a huge success so good luck with it, Arjen!
Besides Arjen, Lori (Linstruth/lead guitars) and Alejandro Millán (keyboards) have also decided to part ways and focus on their own personal lives and musical projects. We, the rest of the SOPies, wish the three of them all the success and happiness in the world.
HOWEVER, THIS IS BY NO MEANS THE END OF THE BAND! The rest of us are extremely motivated to continue this beautiful story called Stream Of Passion and give it a more than positive future, like we think it deserves. We are already busy writing music for a new album, so soon you'll hear more about our future plans and musical ideas. Stay tuned!"
Stream Of Passion's remaining members are Marcela Bovio (vocals), Davy Mickers (drums) and Johan van Stratum (bass).
