Walter Gervers with Foals headlining Citadel Festival 2017 (Alberto Pezzali / Live4ever)
Foals released their ‘Life Is Yours’ album last year.
Bass player Walter Gervers has rejoined Foals after five years away.
Yannis Philippakis shared the news on social media, writing:
After 6 years in the alpine wilderness guess who’s back in the band?!! Walter is back & better than ever. Rejoining for all the coming shows & into the future. Get ready, the boys are back in business.
It was back in 2018 when Gervers’ departure was announced ahead of the band’s Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost one-two, when he was replaced on touring duties by Everything Everything’s Jeremy Pritchard.
“To all our fans,” they wrote at the time. “Sadly we have to announce that our mate Water has decided to leave the band to pursue a new life. The parting has been sad but we remain firm friends. He’ll always be our brother, we love him and wish him well in his future endeavours.”
