Damon Wilson Leaves The Temperance Movement

(Classic Rock) The Temperance Movement have announced drummer Damon Wilson is leaving the band. The sticksman, who has been in the group for five years, confirms he's leaving to spend more time with his family.

The band say Simon Lea will perform with the group at forthcoming acoustic shows, followed by The Graveltones' Mikey Sorbello behind the kit in Germany.

The Temperance Movement say: "It's with heavy hearts that we find ourselves having to bid farewell to our brother, collaborator and drummer, Damon Wilson. We've had a great five years together and accomplished so much together.

"We never take for granted how lucky we are to be able to travel and play music, but for some people there comes a point when it no longer makes sense for them, and that is the decision Damon has made. Of course, we accept and respect his decision completely." Read more here.
