Rhapsody of Fire loses drummer

2016-10-09 by Toondude | 12 Comments
Less than two weeks after the loss of long-time vocalist Fabio Lione, Italian power metal cheese kings Rhapsody of Fire have officially confirmed that drummer Alex Holzworth has left the band to pursue other interests.

Holzworth, who had been a member of the band since 2000, issued a statement via Facebook:

My dear Rhapsody Of Fire fans!

Some of you may know, I wanted to do something different since a long time and I feel the time is right to focus my energies on other projects. This means I won't be able to play with Rhapsody Of Fire anymore. My bandmates have known about this and they are supportive. I know it comes very soon after Fabio’s leaving but I feel that's the best moment to do it as the band is already working on the new line-up.

I wish the Band everything positive and best luck for their new chapter with a new singer and new drummer. There will be a fresh line-up for an exciting future. I really trust ROF for finding the most suitable musicians.

All the best to my Rhapsody Of Fire family, friends and fans.

See you on the road somewhere!

Alex Holzwarth

I'd hate to see this be the end. But at least Into the Legend would be a good note to end on.
