Pretty interesting development. It's just for the tour and then they'll look for a new full-time touring member?

It seems Paul Quinn (founding member) will continue recording, but not touring anymore.

As for Tatler, dunno if he's gonna split duties with Diamond Head, but Saxon is a bigger act in terms of shows. It may be for his advantage to stay as a touring member.

That's true.

Well as it's probably well known now, Tatler became a permanent band member as he also recorded the new album.
