Rise To Remain frontman Austin Dickinson has shed light on the recent departure of Joe Copcutt and Pat Lundy. In a statement he says " It's very sad that things did not work out between us, but they are great guys and all of us wish them the absolute best in their futures". The singer also tells of his regret of having to pull out of the US Machine Head tour. " We apologise to all our stateside fans for this cancellation, we did not want to let you guys down, as this is obviously sudden news." He goes on to say that they are already audition for new members and that the US release of City Of Vultures will have four new and exclusive songs. The full statement is as follows:
"Hey guys, as you’ve probably heard we’ve parted ways with Pat and Joe. It’s very sad that things didn’t work out between us, but they are great guys and all of us wish them the absolute best in their futures.
As an unfortunate result, we’ve had to pull out of our debut US tour supporting Machine Head, and our album release date is now June 5th for North America. We apologise to all our stateside fans for this cancellation, we did not want to let you guys down, as this is obviously sudden news. However, we will be including four brand new and exclusive tracks on our US release of City Of Vultures, and we have got many more new and exciting things to announce over the coming weeks. We are in the audition process right now, and we are very much looking onwards and upwards.
Please say a collective thanks to Joe and Pat for everything they did in Rise, they are great dudes and they will go far in whatever they choose to do next. See you all in March for some mayhem, and thank you for everything,
All our love,
Austin"
