Vanden Plas - Keyboardist Leaves
German prog/power metal operatives Vanden Plas announced that keyboardist Günter Werno has decided to leave the ranks after more than 30 years. More can be read below.
Statement from the band as follows: "Hi to all our fans and followers. Maybe some of you have read the expression "Ex-Vanden Plas" behind Günter's name in the promotion trailer for Anima One. We can imagine that this was surprising. But yes, it's like that.
"Günter has recently decided to leave Vanden Plas after more then 30 years. For Vanden Plas, this really seems somehow strange and unreal, as we had a steady line-up since 1990.
"What is quite unusual for a rock band. We are very proud about this long-term relationship - but now, it also happened to us… This is sad, but the message for all Vanden Plas -fans is: Vanden Plas still exists, and we will continue to release CD's and also play concerts. In addition, Günter and Vanden Plas will continue to work together at theatres, playing our own rock operas as well as other theatre productions.
"We are looking back on more then three decades of a common successful work. And at the same time, both Günter and Vanden Plas are looking forward to all the exciting new things which will show up in the future. As soon as we are able to officially welcome the new band member, we will inform you here and on all our official platforms."

Sad news to be honest, Vanden Plas was one of the few bands with the same line up since the beginning. Is Günter with Place Vendome anymore or is he out of that band as well?
