Adagio separates from David Readman
"It's with great regret that we have to announce that David Readman is no longer the singer of Adagio.
Before anything else, I would like to mention that this decision has nothing to do with our personal feelings with David. We've been great friends, we had a lot of fun together but it was clear that a longer collaboration with Bottom Row (David's management) would have killed the band in no time.
I will not go into details, but all I can say, is that each new show, studio album or new project have been subject to really unpleasant negotiations, under the threat of being blocked many times and it was not possible for us to work under such a permanent pressure anymore.
We've done all the possible to keep on working with David, but after few years, we've decided to stop making compromises, and to finally take the best decision for Adagio's future.
We have now to move forward, and so we're looking for a new singer.
As the band has a lot of upcoming things going on like the Prog power fest in Atlanta in September and the recordings of the next album before the end of the year, some auditions will take place very soon.
So, if you're living in Europe, you have a great voice and above all, if you think you have your chances to become the new singer of Adagio, then please send :
-1 good quality MP3 representative of your voice
-A short bio
-2 recent pictures
adagio.management@wanadoo.fr
All demos will be listened, and if you're selected for an audition, you will receive an e-mail confirmation within one week.
All the e-mails have to be sent before August 10th.
Thanks a lot for your understanding and support

What a sad day... I'm not sure how much I'll enjoy them at Progpower now, that is if they are still going to play at all. First Sun Caged and now this.
