| Drowning
Pool Replacement |
Blabbermouth reports: DROWNING POOL have officially
confirmed the departure of vocalist Jason "Gong" Jones less than two years
after officially bringing him into the band. Jones apparently exited the
group over the weekend, forcing the cancellation of a June 12 hometown
show in Dallas, Texas.
Manager Paul Bassman told Launch Radio
Networks that while DROWNING POOL was "very proud" of the album the band
made with Jones, 2004's "Desensitized", the relationship with the vocalist
"just didn't work out." Bassman added that DROWNING POOL already has another
frontman lined up, with the announcement of his name coming shortly.[see
