"After 10 wonderful, enriching, emotional and fascinating years being a part of Funeral for a Friend - I've decided to hang up my drum sticks. I've always put music first in my life - but the time has come now for my family to take the top spot, after patiently waiting and supporting me for the last 10 years and more. (...) I'm leaving the band, but I'm glad to say that I'm still living and breathing music full-time as an artist manager, alongside some of the great people who have been instrumental in the career of FFAF from day one."

New sticksman Pat Lundy will make his debut with Funeral For A Friend this weekend.
