Godfrey, who was diagnosed with the early stages of Alzheimer's disease in 2014, has decided to step back from playing live - although he'll still be involved in the group's studio work.

He tells Prog: "The time has come for me to cross the footlights and devote myself into building our wonderful fan club, The Enidi, into a force to be reckoned with. I still have a few things up my sleeve before the sun sets upon my life's work."

The Enid's live musician Zachary Bullock will take over keyboard duties on a permanent basis after April, while Nic Willes will return on bass and percussion. Frontman Joe Payne will also play additional keyboards where needed. Read more - here.
