H.E.A.T announce new/old frontman
Erik Grönwall has exited the band
Swedish hard rockers H.E.A.T have announced that lead singer Erik Grönwall is exiting the band and he’ll be replaced by their original vocalist Kenny Leckremo.
Kenny Leckremo was previously the frontman of H.E.A.T from their formation in Upplands Väsby in 2007 until 2010 when he was replaced by Erik Grönwall.
Following a decade-long tenure, Grönwall has now decided to leave the band to focus on new ventures.
H.E.A.T said in a statement: “First of all, we want to thank Erik for all the crazy fun and epic travels around the world the past 10 years. Together we made H.E.A.T what it is today. Secondly, we want to welcome back founding member and original vocalist Kenny Leckremo to the band. We’re looking forward to write the next chapter of H.E.A.T story together.”
Kenny Leckremo says: “It’s like a shot at redemption. I’m thrilled to be back, and to be a part of what H.E.A.T is today. No longer just a shadow of the past, but a force into the future. The H.E.A.T legacy continues.”
Former vocalist Erik Grönwall adds: “H.E.A.T has really been a place for me to grow as an individual, singer and frontman. The guys recruited this young Swedish Idol guy and believed more in me and my potential than I did myself. I am forever grateful for that.
“Gentlemen it’s been a pleasure touring the world with you. I’ve learned a lot from you, and you’ve made me stronger. I look forward to build more memories with you, just not collectively as H.E.A.T.”
H.E.A.T’s sixth studio album ‘H.E.A.T II’ was released earlier this year and the band play a rescheduled five-date UK tour in October 2021.
Following that, H.E.A.T will play the Main Stage at Planet Rockstock 2021 on the weekend of Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th December next year.
