Jepson Leaves Gun, Band Take Time Out

Toby Jepson has quit Scottish rockers Gun to work on other projects, and the band will now take some time out to consider their future.

Gun reunited in 2008 with former Little Angels singer Toby Jepson as their frontman and the band have been consistently touring ever since. They also released five track EP Popkiller in 2009.

However in a statement on the band’s official site Jepson reveals that he has now left the band:

"Due to increasing writing and production commitments for other artists, I have decided to leave GUN as the singer. I have had a fantastic time working with Jools and Dante and consider the music we have created together as being amongst the best I have been involved in throughout my career . I wish them well and sincerely hope that we will work together again in some capacity in the future. I stress that that I am in no way leaving the world of live music, far from it, it is simply that at the moment I cannot commit 100% to future GUN plans and would not want to stand in the way of the bands potential further development . I fully intend to resurface as a rock singer in one way or another in the near future so watch this space..."

Giuliano 'Jools' Gizzi says, "Following on from Toby's announcement, we will take some time out to decide GUN's future. The last couple of years have been great and we have really enjoyed playing the gigs. Thanks to Toby for being an excellent frontman and thanks to the fans for supporting us. Dante (Gizzi) and I will keep you posted with what's happening.......so don't go away now!"
