This morning, Devil Sold His Soul vocalist Edward Gibbs announced on Twitter that he is to leave the band. His last shows with them will be Hit The Deck Nottingham and three Slam Dunk dates.
Here’s the Twitter statement in full: “This is the hardest and saddest decision that I have ever had to make, but I am parting ways with Devil Sold His Soul. This has nothing to do with any lack of love for the music or my brothers in the band, but I just don’t feel that I can commit 100% to our band anymore and that I need to start looking to the future. This band has been the biggest and most important thing to happen in my life and I wouldn’t be the same person right now if it wasn’t for it. Over my 9 years in the band we have overcome so many hurdles and hardships together that these guys truly feel like family to me and it really does hurt to know that I won’t be playing shows with them again, but I know that we will always be close. I would like to thank everyone that has ever supported our band along the way and helped us do all of the things we have achieved so far, without you we could never have made it this far. I wish the guys the best of luck for the future and whatever it throws at them! I have had the most incredible experiences over the years and I wouldn’t change a thing. My last shows are going to be HTD nottingham and 3 Slam Dunk shows, if anyone has the chance to come along it would mean the world to me x”
Sad news, but we wish Ed and Devil Sold His Soul the best of luck with the future.
