ADAGIO Part Ways With Singer, Seek Replacement

July 22, 2004

French progressive metallers ADAGIO have officially parted ways with singer David Readman (PINK CREAM 69). "This decision has nothing to do with our personal feelings with David," the band write on their web site. "We've been great friends, we had a lot of fun together but it was clear that a longer collaboration with Bottom Row (David's management) would have killed the band in no time. I will not go into details, but all I can say, is that each new show, studio album or new project have been subject to really unpleasant negotiations, under the threat of being blocked many times and it was not possible for us to work under such a permanent pressure anymore. We've done [everything] possible to keep on working with David, but after few years, we've decided to stop making compromises, and to finally take the best decision for ADAGIO's future. We have now to move forward, and so we're looking for a new singer.

"As the band has a lot of upcoming things going on like the ProgPower fest in Atlanta in September and the recordings of the next album before the end of the year, some auditions will take place very soon. So, if you're living in Europe, you have a great voice and above all, if you think you have your chances to become the new singer of ADAGIO, then please send:

- 1 good quality MP3 representative of your voice
- A short bio
- 2 recent pictures

"[Send material to] [email protected]

"All demos will be listened, and if you're selected for an audition, you will receive an e-mail confirmation within one week. All the e-mails have to be sent before August 10th."
