Dirk Lance has officially left Incubus, a
band that he helped co-found. The band has tapped Beb Kenney, who has previously
played with the Roots and Blackalicious, as his replacement.
Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd issued the
following statement regarding the departure of Lance.
Hello, Friends.
I normally dont participate in this forum
because in all honesty internet message boards and chat rooms scare me.
They are usually the harbingers of trash-talk, rumors, doctored photos
and the occasional truth. But today I am here to try and clarify something
that seems to be of growing interest and or concern amongst some of you;
where is Dirk Lance?
Well, to cut straight to the thick of it,
he is no longer in the band. I regret to inform you of this in this way
but we collectively felt it was the best medium.
Now, being a group of people who look forward
and not the other way, I would love to express to all of you our gratitude
towards Dirk for an amazing 12 years of artistry and dedication. He was
and will remain a valuable asset to the history of this band.
I am aware that the looming ambiguity of
this statement might raise more questions than before, but please know
that we wish him the best of fortune in every endeavor he pursues.
And we will and are continuing our pursuit of high art in sound.
We appreciate all of your support through
these strange and beautiful times in our lives and in the world, and I
pray that all of you remain safe and aware. But with that I must also issue
you a warning; for the music we are currently composing for the next record
will be like melted chocolate on your chests and necks!
See you this summer on Lollapalooza!
