March 29, 2005

MISFITS have issued the following update regarding the previously announced departure of former RAMONES drummer Marky Ramone:

"As most of you know, Marky Ramone (of the world-famous RAMONES) has been sitting in on drums as a 'special guest' with the MISFITS on tour for the past few years. Marky's final shows behind the kit with the MISFITS will take place from April 1st in Sayerville, NJ at the Starland Ballroom up to and including the show on April 30th in Baltimore, MD. Marky's departure from touring with the MISFITS is an amicable one and we wish him the best of luck.

"What's next for the MISFITS...? Plans have already been in the works for some changes to come. We can't say much more until things are officially confirmed but look for announcements coming soon regarding the upcoming summer tour in Europe and more...stay tuned Fiends!
