Fred Hell leaves Tiger Army
Tiger Army has parted ways with drummer Fred Hell. Frontman Nick 13 had this to say:
"We are very sorry to announce that our friend & brother Fred Hell will no longer be playing with Tiger Army, due to heath reasons stemming from his shooting in March '03. Fred's courage and hard work has been an inspiration to everyone, but he's just not physically up to the challenge of touring. There are no hard feelings on the part of anyone, we're all just thankful for the last three years of playing together and the fact that Fred's alive. Best of luck to Fred in his continued recovery and pursuit of musical excellence, he will always be part of the Tiger Army family."
Mike Fasano, who drummed on the band's latest album III: Ghost Tigers Rise [review] will be filling in on the band's Warped Tour stint, which begins tomorrow. Click READ MORE for all dates. No word on if Fasano will be a permanent addition or not.
