Bullet For My Valentine lose bassist
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 10 February 2015
Bassists, eh? What are they like? Always leaving bands, they are. Always. What, you don’t believe me? Well how about this, Bullet For My Valentine’s bassist Jay James just quit. See? It’s a wonder any bands have a bassist.
In a post on their Facebook page, the more committed, non-bassist members of the band said in a statement: “It is with regret that Bullet For My Valentine has to announce that Jay James is no longer a member of the band. Jay has been a part of this band for well over twelve years and part of our lives forever, and we’re gonna miss him as much as we know you guys are too”.
They continued: “We wanna wish him all the best and success with whatever he chooses to do next and will always be grateful for his contribution and sacrifices he made for this band.
We’ll announce a replacement for Jay when we feel the time is right, but until then we’re gonna be busy and focused recording our next record and making sure its the best album we’ve ever made”.
Oh, well if they think they can do better without him, then I guess it’s alright.
