Matt Walker, drummer with Morrissey‘s touring band for over six years, has quit the group not long after appearing to show some dissatisfaction with the famously outspoken star on Twitter.
Walker joined up with Morrissey in 2006 and played on the former Smiths frontman’s ‘Years Of Refusal‘ album, but has had his departure confirmed in an official statement which reads:
“Our little covered wagon has lost drummer Matt Walker, who was eager to bring his term to an end. No bargainings could persuade him to stay, and his interest drew its last breath at Stockton.”
“Behind the kit, Matt was a greyhound unleashed, and his great work on Years of Refusal will always and forever speak up in his favor. His exit is sad, but he had no wish to continue, and a branch falls away.”
The news comes after Walker had previously taken to Twitter to declare that ‘things are weird and getting weirder’ ahead of a show in the Philippines during Morrissey’s recent tour.
