Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons have announced that they will be parting ways with vocalist Neil Starr.

The band comments: "After much deliberation we regret to announce that we have decided to try a new vocal direction with the band and are therefore parting ways with our friend and lead vocalist Neil Starr."

"We'd like to thank Neil for all of his fantastic performances with the band and for his work behind the scenes over the years and wish him the best of luck for the future."

"We are planning to go ahead with this summer's scheduled shows with a replacement."
