Bassist James Likeness hat COPELAND verlassen.
Hier die Statements von James und der Band:
"There really isn't an easy way to go about saying this, so I'm just going to jump into it. After 6 years, it appears that the time has come for me to leave Copeland. I want everyone to know that I have cherished my time in the band immensely, and the people who enjoyed the music were the biggest source of that enjoyment.
For now, I am focusing all of my time on the other major artistic love in my life: design. As many of you know I have a degree in graphic design and I am making that my new career. If you would like to keep up with where that will take me you can visit my website at http://www.tiredchildren.com.
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to perform for you for so many years. I love you guys so much, and will miss you all dearly.
James"
