King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's drummer and manager Eric Moore announces departure from band
The manager and one of two drummers for King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Eric Moore, has announced that he will "no longer be an active member or manager of the group".
Moore made the announcement via Flightless Records' Instagram this morning (25 August), but didn't give any specific reason for his departure from the band.
He revealed that he will continue to "keep working with Gizz putting out records but I will no longer be an active member or manager of the group".
The drummer and manager added, "To anyone that caught a show and dived into our world over the last 10 years I just want to say thank you for the support. Being able to travel the world and perform in front of you is not something I take for granted. I hope that the shows, tours and Gizzfests made an impression and provided an outlet for joy and lasting memories. Whilst I’m deeply saddened by this decision, I don’t have any regrets and have enjoyed every fuckin second of being in this band and the journey it has taken us on. I’ll forever be in awe of the musicianship, creativity and work ethic of every single member. I was a fan boy from day one and am so grateful for everything I’ve learnt with my best mates by my side."
He also confirmed that he will continue working with Flightless Records, "Life goes on however, and I’m excited to keep growing the label and continuing to champion new artists and business endeavours until the lights go out. And when the lights go out..well.. someone give me the number for Coles cause I can pick and pack an order like a mf."
