Monday, July 14, 2008 - CrashDïet Parts Ways With Singer
CrashDïet have released the following statement:

"We have decided, in a mutual decision, to go separate ways with Olli. We need a singer who can commit 100%, which unfortunately Olli couldn't live up to. He, as many know about, has another band in Finland and we couldn't settle for sharing our time. We want to go further than any band has done before and we can't afford to spend time just waiting. We need to function as a full unit, all the time! It was, as mentioned above, a mutual decision, and this ain't the result of any kind of argument. We definitely will go on as friends, and we wish Olli all the best!

"Just to make things clear: CRASHDIET has no intention of giving up. The three of us are more hungry than ever and you ain´' seen the end of CRASHDIET yet!"

Saturday, January 21, 2006 - CrashDiet will not continue following death of frontman
In a joint statement released to the media, Martin Sweet (guitar), Peter London (bass) and Eric Young (drums) said, "As a bandmember, but most of all as a person, we will miss him for all eternity. Dave was nothing but a genius and a very special person. CrashDiet will definitely not continue as a band. CrashDiet consisted of four people and now one has left us."

"It's pretty clear that, up to now, there's been a vacuum as far as hard rock goes," Dave said in a 2005 interview. "We can play a gig for 1,200 kids with big hair and skinny spandex-covered legs, who just stand there screaming. So it's even cooler when ZTV [Swedish music video channel] or MTV and the others play our rock-hard video which gets to be one of the most played clips alongside old ladies like J-Lo, or whatever she's called."

According to Blabbermouth, CrashDiet were reportedly the first "sleaze rock" band in over 10 years to be signed directly to a major company, Universal Music. The group, whose members were said to be in their early 20s, were scheduled to make their U.S. debut in March at the South by Southwest music conference/festival in Austin, Texas.
