IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.
It is with regret that we can confirm that Roy is no
longer a member of Rainbow Rising as of 04-11-04.
The remaining members of the band are all greatly
disappointed by this sad turn of events.
The suddenness of the decision and the way the news was
broken to the rest of the band, in particular, has been most upsetting on a
personal level.
We must also confirm that Roy's decision to quit the
band will have immediate effect. This will unavoidably result in Rainbow Rising
not being in a position to honour some of the band's current commitments in the
short term.
We understand that this must have been a very hard
decision for Roy and fully understand the pressure this must have exerted on
him, being fully aware of how many people we will be letting down. However,
we also understand Roy's desire to move away from the tribute scene, the first
step of which will be to bring back to life the music of re-formed 80's
n.w.o.b.h.m. band Cloven Hoof.
Rainbow Rising will continue and we will do everything
in our power to honour as many of our existing commitments as possible in the
short term. In the longer term we will replace Roy and continue to keep the
Rainbow spirit alive, as we always have.
We hope you will join us in wishing Roy the very
best for the future.
Good luck mate. Long Live Rock and Roll...RR
