This is not the end of MK though.
In a statement released on social media, lead singer for Mallory Knox, Mikey Chapman will be leaving the band after nine years and three albums.
MK will still be going ahead on their current tour though with bassist Sam Douglas taking on lead vocal duties.
Their statement reads: –
After nearly 9 years together, today we announce that Mikey has decided to part ways with Mallory Knox. As a band we respect his decision and wish him well for the future.
2018 marks a brand new chapter for the band and we’re excited to be continuing Mallory Knox with Sam taking the lead on vocals. We’ve been working hard behind the scenes writing and recording new music. We are very keen for you to hear it and you won’t be waiting long.
With this news comes the unveiling of a string of intimate UK headline tour dates. We’re ready to get back out on the road & play some new songs alongside the songs we’ve been playing for years. Head to malloryknox.com for details.
