Editors guitarist Chris Urbanowicz has quit the band today (April 16th), citing musical differences.
A statement released on Editors’ official website confirmed the news, with the Birmingham group, who are currently working on their fourth studio album, admitting to ‘huge sadness’ at their now-former guitarist’s decision.
“In a decision entirely based upon future musical direction, and with huge sadness, Editors and Chris Urbanowicz have parted ways,” the statement reads. “In 10 years we’ve gone from playing tiny clubs in Birmingham to selling out massive shows across the globe as four friends together so this was a massively painful decision for all of us to make.”
“We wish Chris the best of luck in his future endeavours, and expect you all to do the same. The parting is amicable, and however sad things are right now we all hope we’ll continue to be friends for many years to come.”
