April 16, 2020, 4 years ago
Lock Up drummer Nick Barker has announced his departure from the band. His statement follows:
"After "not feeling it" for a considerable amount of time and pondering my future within the ranks of the band, I've decided to call it a quits with Lock Up! There's no bad blood or ill feeling in any way, those guys are my brothers and I wish them well.
"I have a couple of new musical endeavours in the pipeline that will come to light when the time is right. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my ex-band mates and all the fans around the world for their support over the course of 20+ years I served as drummer in the band. Much love to you all."
Lock Up bassist Shane Embury comments: “I am sad to see Nick leave the band! But we have discussed this a lot and it’s time to move on for all of us I guess - no bad blood. Along with Jesse Pintado (RIP) Nick and I formed Lock Up in 1998! We have had a fun and crazy ride together on all those years and I wish Nick nothing but the best for the future."
The band will soon announce Nick Barker's replacement. Stay tuned.
