Whitesnake Lose Another Member
Timothy Drury has left the band
Keyboardist Timothy Drury has left Whitesnake, it has been announced.
Drury joined Whitesnake for the band’s 2002 reunion tour and has remained with them until now. He appeared on 2008’s Good To Be Bad album.
He released a statement about his decision:
"For over seven years now I have been fortunate enough to travel the world, to play and sing my heart out and to share the stage with David Coverdale as a part of Whitesnake.
I've learned so much from David Coverdale and this experience, about following one's heart, about being authentic, about never letting fear prevent one from pursuing one's destiny.
More than ever, I see the value of what I can express as a composer and producer, photographer, songwriter, singer... as an artist. That is why I must now say my goodbyes to you all and take my leave to pursue some very important creative projects that have been brewing for some time now."
Whitesnake singer David Coverdale has responded to the departure, saying "We are sad to lose such a valued member of the band, but, we understand, support & sincerely wish Timothy every success in his solo career & thank him for a great, fun journey together."
