Rising UK act Heights have parted ways with longtime vocalist Thomas Debaere.
News of Debaere’s exit came from the band themselves yesterday. In a message to fans on their official website, Heights wrote:
As some of you may have read or heard today we parted ways with our vocalist and good friend Thomas Debaere.
We understand a lot of you will panic, and a lot of you will be upset – but if you have backed Heights and are a fan of this band, then you have backed the decisions we’ve made up until now and this time should be no different.
We have absolutely no doubts about our reasons behind this, check back at the end of this week for more news.
No shows or tours will be affected – come see us at Crash Doubt, the Kerrang! Awards Show and Ghostfest for our first shows with our new vocalist
Forwards ever, backwards never.
Heights
Debaere’s absence will surely be felt by fans around the globe, but consider us intrigued as to who will be stepping in to fill the position. According to a recent update on the band’s Facebook, more information will be available soon.
While we wait for the new vocalist to be announced, spend time remembering Debaere’s efforts by watching Heights’ video for “These Streets” after the jump.
