Sources close to Dream Theater report that Kevin Moore “has decided to leave the band to pursue a new musical direction which would not be possible for him to explore within the confines of Dream Theater. The split is friendly, and we wish Kevin the best of luck in his future endeavors. In the meantime, please rest assured that Kevin’s replacement is of world class caliber and we will ABSOLUTELY NOT lose any momentum in our drive to make Dream Theater the success that they so rightly deserve to be.”
And from another source:
“It’s official. He’s out...Jens Johanssen (Yngwie) is the replacement. Onward. Amicable split due to Kevin’s widening musical perspective.”
That’s all I know for now....
