Roadstar split!
It seems Roadstar (as we know them) are no more. Details are still quite vague, but the band have parted company with Laurie Mansworth, the former More/Airrace guitarist who for the past seven years has managed them and co-written much of their material. From what Laurie told Dave Ling, the winners of Classic Rock's Best New Band award plan to continue under a new name, but minus the benefit of his expertise. After seven years of tutelage, Mansworth is understandably choked by this decision, though resolute not to sling any mud. Coming just weeks after the release of their second album, 'Glass Mountain', the timing of the split is pretty astonishing.
The band have released an official statement, although it doesn't say much.
Hi everyone,
Due to circumstances beyond our control, all of us have decided to leave Roadstar behind. We also have no control over the Roadstar MySpace. We aren't able to read or send any messages. We cant say how thankful we are for all the unyielding support from you all and hope to see you all again sometime soon.
Hope you are all well...
Richie, Jonny, Syd, Chris, Rob
