Matt, the drummer of McLusky, has left the band. But apparently, the band is strong and will continue on. The following is supposedly from the band's manager:
"Things were a lot more amicable than everyone here seems to be assuming. I know "musical differences" is virtually a cliche but in this case it is absolutely true. The new material wasn't uniting the band the way the old stuff did.
In terms of the future, everything is good. There is a lot of new material, there is a new single in the can which will be out August 18th, the band have just been confirmed for Reading. You can expect a slightly altered mclusky but they have not turned into Rick Astley.
Matt and I are still friends, Matt and Falko and Jon are still friends. We have five - seven years shared experiences and a lot of them were ####ing cool. Matt will now be incessantly shagging for another cause and when I spoke to him last night he seemed very happy at the prospect. This was not a sacking, it was a parting.
I am the manager.
The band will continue.
Matt is gone but not forgotten. It was good and now things have changed.
We will see you at Reading.
There will be rock.
All is well. Go forth and sleep soundly."
Who knows what really happened. I'm just relieved that the band will carry on!
