Written by Laura Johnson
Placebo have announced that Colour Of Fire's Matt Lunn will replace drummer Steve Forrest.
Placebo took to their Facebook to announce that Forrest, who has been with the band since 2008, would be leaving on good terms:
The split is very amicable and Steve was keen to pursue his own musical ambitions, and has been writing and recording his own material over the last few years.
Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal would like to thank Steve for all his work with the band and wish him all the very best in his future career.
They also revealed that Colour Of Fire's Matt Lunn would be taking over for their upcoming tour:
INTRODUCING NEW TOURING DRUMMER, MATT LUNN.
Placebo will embark on their biggest UK and Irish tour in recent years, starting on 25th February with a sold out show at the Olympia in Dublin and ending with two nights at Hammersmith Apollo in London on the 24th and 25th March.
The tour will allow fans to catch a glimpse of the band’s new line up, with old friend, and former Colour of Fire drummer Matt Lunn, joining the fold as the new touring drummer.
