Funeral For A Friend founding vocalist departs band

Founding vocalist Matthew Davies-Kreye has officially departed Funeral For A Friend after over 20 years with the band, including a reunion period. 

He will be replaced by Holding Absence vocalist Lucas Woodland for the band's appearance at the Slam Dunk Festival in May. 

The band stated:

It's with a heavy heart that we announce that after 20+ years, our singer and brother Matthew Davies-Kreye has decided to move on to pastures new going forward, and leaves with all our love, respect and gratitude.

While Matt moves on, the rest of us have come out of our recent '20 Years Casually Dressed' anniversary tour with a renewed spark and desire to create new music together, for the first time in this lineup for many years.

We'll keep you updated on that in due course, but suffice it to say that we wouldn't be entertaining new music if we didn't feel the material we're currently writing would hold up to the legacy o Matthew Davies-Kreye Leaves Funeral For A Friend FEVOQ
