Gitarristen Kasperi Heikkinen har meddelat att han lämnar U.D.O/Dirkschneider.
Anledningen till avskedet sägs vara personliga anledningar och det ska inte finnas något ont blod bandmedlemmarna emellan. Så här lyder Kasperis uttalande:
“I want to thank everyone, especially the fans, for these great four years I was in the band. I also wish all the best for the band with their future endeavors. From now on I will focus on my other music projects and some different outlets of creativity. You will surely hear from me again when the time is right. Stay metal and tsönk all the way!”
