Godsmack
It has recently been revealed that Shannon Larkin and Tony Rombola of Godsmacl had left the band last year, as the aren’t appearing in the European/UK tour that the band has launched. For the tour, they’ve subbed Evanescence drummer Will Hunt and Faster Pussycat bassist Sam Bam Koltun.
In a Facebook post that’s since been deleted, Larkin confirmed the change (post transcribed by Blabbermouth), “First of all, I just want to thank everyone for the outpouring of texts from all my family and friends. I’m okay, Tony’s okay. We did quit the band last year after lots of talking to Sully and Robbie, and they understood that we didn’t want to tour anymore. That’s the reason. We understood that they wanted to tour, and so we understood each other. And in the end Godsmack’s out there touring and we are out here happily living our lives…Tony’s turning 60. I’m turning 58. It’s not a physical thing. We just want to be home with everything that we love. 40 years I’ve been touring, 28 years for Rombola. We’re getting a little older, so we decided to quit. It wasn’t a bad thing. I will talk more about it in the future, but it’s all love. We’re brothers for life with Sully and Robbie, and we wish Will and Sam all the best. All the fans, keep going — they’re kicking ass.”
Larkin joined Godsmack in 2002, and joined in 1996.
