Black Stone Cherry har meddelat att basisten Jon Lawhon lämnar bandet.
Anledningen till avskedet sägs vara personliga anledningar och det ska inte finnas något ont blod bandmedlemmarna emellan.
Så här lyder ett pressmeddelande:
“To all of our amazing fans, it is with a heavy heart we inform you that Jon Lawhon has decided to take an indefinite sabbatical from music and touring for personal reasons. As such, Jon will be stepping down as a member of Black Stone Cherry.
We love Jon, wish him all the best in all his future endeavors and will cherish the memories and legacy we’ve built with him over twenty years as a band. We ask that you please respect Jon and the band’s privacy regarding this matter.
In the meantime, we can’t wait to play more rockin’ BLACK STONE CHERRY shows in 2021 and onward! Please stay on the look-out for new shows announcing near you!”
Jon Lawhon är därmed den förste medlemmen som lämnar bandet sedan bandet grundades 2001.
