Spoon's bassist Rob Pope has left the band
Spoon have shared a message from their bassist Rob Pope in which he announces his departure from the group.
Last month Spoon announced a new greatest hits record alongside new track "No Bullets Spent".
Now the group have shared news of their bassist departing the band.
Rob Pope shared a message via Spoon's Instagram, writing, "As Spoon’s bass player since 2006, I’ve never taken for granted the thrills and challenges that have come with being in this band. Now, after some serious thought, the timing feels right for me to leave Spoon in order to spend more time with family and personal projects."
He adds, "I have nothing but love for Britt Daniel, Jim Eno, Eric Harvey, Alex Fischel, and Gerardo Larios — the gentlemen dudes I was lucky to share the stage, bus, and studio with."
Pope goes on to share some plans for the future, "I’ll continue to work on new music, including touring and recording with The Get Up Kids, but I’ll always be particularly proud of the amazing things Spoon accomplished over nearly 13 years of my involvement (and sometimes in spite of it)."
