Pixies confirm Kim Deal has left band


Kim Deal has quit the Pixies nearly a decade after being a part of the band’s reformation.

A statement released by her now former bandmates Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering spoke of their pride at having worked with Deal for the best part of the last 25 years, and said they will ‘always consider her a member of the Pixies’.

“We are sad to say that Kim Deal has decided to leave the Pixies,” the statement reads.

“We are very proud to have worked with her on and off over the last 25 years. Despite her decision to move on, we will always consider her a member of the Pixies, and her place will always be here for her. We wish her all the best.”

As well as the Pixies, Kim Deal has also enjoyed success with The Breeders with her sister Kelley, and had the huge hit ‘Cannonball‘ in 1993.
