Danny Worsnop Explains Reunion With Asking Alexandria

(Metal Hammer) Danny Worsnop has opened up on his decision to rejoin Asking Alexandria. The band confirmed Worsnop's return on Saturday after weeks of speculation over their future. Guitarist Ben Bruce said they had split with Denis Stoff (aka Shaforostov), who only replaced Worsnop 18 months ago.

Now Worsnop has released a statement about his decision to return to the band and he insists We Are Harlot - the band he formed before leaving Asking Alexandria in the first place - will continue, as will his solo career.

Worsnop says: "Two weeks ago, I was approached with a question, if I would consider touring with my former band, Asking Alexandria, for their upcoming tour 10 Years In The Black.

"Now, keep in mind that outside occasional, 'Hey, man, how've you been?' texts, Ben Bruce and I hadn't spoken since my departure - and the rest of the band, not at all.

"It was a long week pondering the decision and figuring out what the right thing to do was. After all, my solo album, The Long Road Home, is about to release, which is, of course, my primary focus.

"I'm also working on the new We Are Harlot record, and trying to book in as much acting work as possible. Eventually, the pivotal hour came about and it was time to make a decision. I took this last year off from playing and touring to find myself (pretentious) and re-evaluate my life (cliche), which I NAILED (badass).

"So, now, after almost two years, I shall be going on tour again with Asking Alexandria." Read more here.
