Iconic rock band NAZARETH has parted ways with their lead singer Linton Osborne. Bassist and original member Pete Agnew announces:
“Linton had a very memorable, if short, period with the band and although things didn’t work out as well as everyone hoped, we would like to thank him for his contribution and wish him all the best for the future.
Nazareth will of course continue and hope to be back on the road in the very near future with a new singer in place and look forward to the next phase of the band’s evolution.”
Concerning the future and new singer, Pete Agnew has posted on NAZARETH’s Official Facebook Page the following statement:
We are, as you know, looking for a new singer.
So far we have had many applicants for the position and new demos are still arriving daily. The standard of demos has been very high and we are confident that we will get the singer we are looking for but we are not in a rush to make a decision until we are completely satisfied we have checked out all possibilities.
The band are currently filming a documentary about the complete history of Nazareth -including interviews with legendary singer Dan McCafferty – for release in June 2015 together with a live session filmed in November at Metropolis Studios (Exact release date TBC)
