Lifesigns Part Ways With Guitarist And Vocalist Niko Tsonev

(Prog) Lifesigns have split with guitarist and vocalist Niko Tsonev. The Bulgarian-born musician says he's leaving so he can focus on other music projects. He thanks his former bandmates, keyboardist/vocalist John Young, bassist Jon Poole and drummer/percussionist Frosty Beedle for the "music and laughter" throughout his tenure.

Tsonev says: "After being a part of Lifesigns for three and a half years, I've made the decision to depart from the band. John, Frosty, Steve, Jon and Brett will always be like a family to me and I'm so proud with what we've achieved together - the small pub gigs, the sweaty splitter bus tours, the Cruise To The Edge shows, the UTB DVD - which will always feel like my baby after the countless hours of work put in.

"And last but not least, playing in front of tens of thousands of people during the amazing 2016 Summer Tour and the Lorelei, Ramblin' Man and Cropredy Festivals." Read more here.
