The Baboon Show har gått ut med nyheten om att deras nuvarande gitarrist inte längre kommer att fortsätta spela live med bandet från och med sommaren 2023. Detta beror på att Håkan för närvarande behöver prioritera sitt andra band Mando Diao.
I Håkans frånvaro så kommer Simon Dahlberg (De Lyckliga Kompisarna) att spela gitarr på The Baboon Shows kommande spelningar.
Hela uttalandet går att läsa på bandets officiella sociala medier och lyder som följer:
“Announcement!
Annons:
We are writing to tell you there will be some changes within the baboon family. Håkan will no longer play live with The Baboon Show. This was not an easy decision for Håkan to make, but it’s impossible to tour with two bands.
In Håkan’s own words:
Dear fans and followers of The Baboon Show.
As some of you already know, I am a member of two bands, The Baboon Show and Mando Diao. It will be impossible for me to tour with both bands and I’ve decided to prioritize Mando Diao from this summer on.
There are no bad feelings in the band. We still love each other, like the family we are. I will keep writing songs and recording music with my Baboons and from time to time I will also show up to do some shows.
Simon Dahlberg, a fantastic guy and guitarplayer will handle the guitars on stage from now on. Please give him a warm welcome!
I wish you all a great summer and I will miss my Baboon family and all of you lovely fans!
/ Håkan
We in The Baboon Show fully respect Håkan’s decision. We wish him all the best and he will always be a part of The Baboon Show family. We love you Håkan and our work together doesn’t end here. It will just be in a different way.
Now say hello to Simon, our new The Baboon Show member. Like Håkan says, he’s a fantastic guy and guitarplayer. We couldn’t agree more. The chemistry we’ve already found together with Simon in our rehearsal room will blow you away!
Welcome to the family Simon! We’re lucky to have you and we can’t wait to hit the road together with you!
Simon will play his first shows with us already this upcoming weekend.
Love 
/ The Baboon Show”
