Lush bassist Phil King leaves band


Lush announced bassist Phil King has left the band. Though King's departure forced Lush to cancel two festival appearances (Iceland Airwaves & Rolling Stone Weekender), they plan to move forward with a new bassist. Read the full statement from Lush below:

"We are very sad to announce the departure of Phil King from the band. As a result, we will no longer be able to appear at the Iceland Airwaves and Rolling Stone Weekender festivals - massive apologies to everyone who was looking forward to seeing us play there. We are in the process of acquiring another bass player and look forward to our final show at Manchester Academy on November 25th."

Lush reunited in 2015 and released an excellent four song EP Blind Spot in April featuring the band's first set of new music in 20 years. Enjoy the video for "Out Of Control" below along with some live video captured in 2016
