Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 at 14:08:25 EST


Italy's VISION DIVINE, featuring former LABYRINTH mastermind Olaf Thörsen, have issued the following statement:

"Michele Luppi is no longer singing with Vision Divine.

Beside any speculation which could be done regarding the truth behind all this, we simply believe it was the right time to both make the right choice.

We wish Michele all the best with his future and we thank him for the great time we had together."

In an update, the band state, "Any scheduled activity will be accomplished, and there won’t be any delay in our plans.

The new singer will be announced on May 1st .

Please stay tuned for more news in the forthcoming days."


Wow, not sure what to say. He's an amazing singer and they're an amazing band. Hope it all works out...

 

[AngraRULES]

Wow.

Bad news.

Now I just hope he won't be concentrating on his shitty hard rock solo project.

Aw come on now, I'm sure you'll find it to be the album of the year!

.....album of the decade?

For sure.

 

[shaq]

For sure.

thought so!

 

[FatesFan]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

This sucks.

 

[OrbWeaver]

My world. It has ended.


Okay, it's not -that- bad. But I'm seriously bummed about this.

 

[Bryan316]

Damnit.



DAMNIT.

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

Damnit.



DAMNIT.

I am sure just those two words dont even express your disappointment after watching them with you and Roger.

ie: Someone was a little excited.

I liked his work with Vision Divine, but I can't say this comes as a big surprise. Luppi was never the most "metal" guy around, and this has happened before with other bands who had vocalists who weren't that into metal... their interests gradually move in other directions.

My world is ending...

Fixed! (to quote a song from another band...)

Okay, it's not -that- bad. But I'm seriously bummed about this.

I'm bummed too. I like Vision Divine. Not exactly happy at this moment either.

This blows. I loved Luppi's voice on cd and live, which now even more luckily we got to see at PP. I'm sure they'll find an adequate replacement but I doubt it will be someone as good as Luppi.


Regardless of the reasons for his departure, this shit just really turns me off to a band. It just becomes impossible to invest any emotional interest in a (metal)band these days. Sure, someone can chime in and remind us all how often these things happen but it just gets old.

I don't know man... if lineup changes are this much of a problem for you, you probably should avoid metal entirely!

 

[edgeofthorns]

This is so frustrating! Add Vision Divine to a long, running list of lineup changes that suck.

[sh0kr0k]

Aww man, too bad! I really liked him with Vision Divine. It seemed a perfect fit, but apparently not.

 

[Winds]

Wow. What a loss. The new singer has some big shoes to fill in :/

 

[Metaldrumz]

Yeah what a bummer. I love Hard Rock but wasnt fond of Luppi's solo CD at all. I hope he makes a record with Alex DeRossi. That dude is so underated.

 

[The_Q]

Well... I knew this was coming.

I also know who is going to be the "new" singer...

Some people will be happy depending how long they have been a fan.....

Others...

Poor Michele.. I liked him.

But also I support the band and that neww singer
