| Sunday, December 7, 2008 - Bassist leaves Pain of Salvation | Bassist Simon Andersson has officially parted ways with Pain of Salvation. He has issued the following statement:
"I've been a part of this band for almost two years and I'm honoured I was the chosen one. Getting to know these wonderful musicians is even more of an honour, but I've reached the point where I just have to stop and walk my own way. Exhaustion, yearning and frustration are the three main issues.
Exhaustion: having a 'normal day job,' being a rock star and having a lot of other (heavy) personal stuff became too much. I wanted everything so bad I ended up being sick with no energy whatsoever.
Yearning: being on tour means waiting. Waiting and waiting. I asked myself one day: is the life back home, the people I love, worth risking just being somewhere in the world waiting? My answer is no.
Frustration: I wanna focus on my own music when i have the time for it. Don't wanna be a wheel in motion in someone else's machinery. I have way too much inspiration and there is no space for this in Pain Of Salvation. Lack of dedication? No. Lack of creative outbursts within the band? Yes.
I can't give Pain Of Salvation 100% at this point, and the guys deserve better. The best thing to do is to go separate ways. We made this decision together and we part as friends. I wish them the best of luck!" |
