Earlier today, English rock 'n' roll band, The Quireboys, announced that they have parted ways with their singer, Spike, with this short message: "The Quireboys have parted company with Spike and will continue as a 5 piece with all other current members."
Spike (real name Jonathan Gray) has since issued the following statement: "Just to clarify, I have received a letter from 3 of MY band members informing me that my services are no longer required to sing or perform with them. I will release an official statement shortly but for now, my sincere apologies go out to you all and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all my fans who are supporting me through this difficult time. Many of you I have known for years and consider my friends. Thank you for your love and support. Rest assured I will see you at the bar very soon. The Quireboys founder, only original member and singer, God bless, Spike." x
The Quireboys are scheduled to make a triumphant and welcome return to the States to finish what they started back in 2020. The lads were in the throws of a stunning country-wide tour when the pandemic hit - and have been itching to get back ever since. That time is now, and May 2022 sees the band - most famous for their hit album A Bit Of What You Fancy - embark on a fresh tour of the US taking in New York, Denver, Las Vegas and many more cities across the country including a stop at the prestigious M3 Festival in Baltimore. The tour will reach a triumphant conclusion at the world-famous Whisky a Go Go in West Hollywood - and for the tour The Quireboys are joined by the amazing Midnight Devils and Steve Ramone. Confirmed dates can be found in the official tour poster seen below.
