Brian Tichy Leaving Whitesnake
Whitesnake regret to announce that powerhouse drummer, Brian Tichy, has told David Coverdale this morning he is leaving the band to pursue the SUN project he started with gifted singer/guitarist Sass Jordan. Bassist & singer, Michael Devin, also a participant in SUN, will remain with Whitesnake.
Coverdale said: We are truly sad to see him go, but, we fully support the pursuit of his ambitions & sincerely wish him well. His fearless drumming brought a relentless driving edge & to our music that we fully embraced. Good Luck, Brian…May the SUN shine brightly on you!!
Whitesnake have begun the search for a new drummer. There are several musicians already being considered.
A spokesman for the band said that this will not affect the forthcoming tour dates for 2013.
Tichy recently broke his collarbone in a Mountain Biking accident and is currently on the mend.
I dunno…seems strange to read that the drummer with Whitesnake is leaving to work with Sass Jordan. I guess it’s good to get involved with something that sounds exciting, though.
