Queensryche Split With Tate

Thursday, June 21st 2012 12:00

They have replaced their singer

The band have reportedly replaced their singer with Crimson Glory frontman Todd La Torre, with whom they had been playing as Rising West for the past few weeks.

In a statement on Billboard.com drummer Scott Rockenfield said "Over the past few months, there have been growing creative differences within Queensryche. We want our fans to know that we hoped to find a common resolution, but in the end parting ways with Geoff was the best way for everyone to move forward in a positive direction. We wish him the best of luck with all of his future endeavors. We can't wait to bring Queensryche to our fans with Todd behind the microphone."

All scheduled Queensryche performances are currently on hold for the time being.

Tate is yet to comment on his departure, and the band's official website and social media channels have no confirmation as yet.
