Controversial front man Danny Worsnop and Asking Alexandria have shockingly parted ways as revealed in a series of posts on Facebook last night. The surprise is that it seems fairly amicable. Worsnop announced to his fans that he and the band were headed different ways, and Worsnop will put all of his focus on his new band We Are Harlot, which is releasing their debut album on Roadrunner this spring.
Worsnop’s statement to fans:
"To all of my friends and fans: I would like to let you know that Asking Alexandria and I are moving forward in separate ways. Over the last eight years together we've done some amazing things and created something truly special. I now, same as then, want what's best for the band and at this point in time, that isn't me. Asking Alexandria will continue to tour throughout the year and will be working on a new album. I will always support and love Asking Alexandria and cannot wait to see what the future holds for them. I am excited for the next chapter of my life with We Are Harlot and will see you all on the road!"
Sometime later, Ben Bruce responded to Worsnop’s post, announcing plans for AA to play this summer’s Warped Tour with an as yet unnamed new singer:
