Less than a week after the release of the new Sin City Sinners album Let It Burn, vocalist Joshua Alan delivered the unexpected by announcing his departure from the group; his official statement reads as follows:

"Ladies and Gentlemen,

I regret to inform you all, that I have decided to step down as lead singer of the Sin City Sinners. I have learned a lot in my time with the Sinners, and have had the opportunity to share the stage with some of the greatest and most influential musicians in the business. There are no words to express my gratitude.This has been a very hard decision for me. I love the guys in the band, as they are all genuine, good guys, and very talented, and I of course, wish them all the best! But as of today, I can no longer front the Sin City Sinners.

I want to thank everyone who has supported me and stood by my side from the beginning, and I hope you can all understand my position.

See you on the road with Ratt!"

Listen to Joshua sing via the lyric video for "Living Like A Sinner" - the first single from Let It Burn:

Sin City Sinners were scheduled to perform tonight, February 19th, at Eastside Cannery in Las Vegas, NV - and the show will go on! In a rather ironic turn of events, former Ratt vocalist and Love/Hate frontman Jizzy Pearl will step in as the special guest lead singer.

Jason Green, who manages Sin City Sinners, offered the following: "Sin City Sinners is like the postal service, we always deliver. Some great guest singers coming up until our big announcement!"
