January 14, 2012, 12 years ago
QUIET RIOT recently parted company with vocalist Mark Huff, announcing that ex-MONTROSE vocalist Keith St. John would be stepping in for the band's upcoming live dates. St. John has issued the following statement:.
"I'm honored and very happy to help out my good friends in Quiet Riot in a time when they need someone to step in. I'm an L.A. resident now but I'm syked that our first of three shows we're doing will be in the Big Apple! N.Y.'s my hometown so it's gonna be a blast! P.S.: Frankie's buyin the f*%k'n pizza ;)"Dates are as follows:
February
1 - B B King's - New York, NY3 - The Bergen Performing Arts Center - Englewood, NJ
4 - The Rock Junction - West Greenwich, RI
As previously reported, drummer Frankie Banali contacted BraveWords.com with the following statement regarding Huff's dismissal:
"My policy has always been not to air out the dirty laundry in public. That policy remains the same even in light of those who chose to make accusations. The fact is that Mr. Huff's medical condition had nothing to do with the decision that was made though it is unfortunate that it comes at such a time. His wife assured me that Mark would be home this week, and as legal protocol dictated, a certified letter was sent informing Mark of the decision that was made and why it was made. This was days ago. The content of that letter is a private matter unless Mr. Huff decides to make the reason for his dismissal made public which I believe would be counterproductive for him. I will not go tit for tat with this issue. If certain persons wish to villainies me, that is their prerogative."
