 Drummer Jeff Olson has announced that he is to part ways with Trouble because he feels he "was never taken seriously as a musicain".
Olson also quiped that he wasn't leaving the band to become a preacher as Kerrang Magazine reported "many years ago and never corrected."
In a statement Olson said "Under great consideration, I have decided to part ways with Trouble. My
reasons are justified. I felt like I was never taken seriously as a
musician with the guys from Trouble, but I did the best I could in that
28 year effort with the band.
"That is all I would like to say for now.
However, this is not a retirement from the music industry for I have my
band, RETRO GRAVE, with the full length coming out in a few months with
fine players (the EP was a solo effort).
"I thank the Trouble fans for
all their support and dedication and I'm sorry if I let you down.
Moreover, I will say that Bruce (Franklin - guitars) and Rick (Wartell
- guitars) are the drive and sound for Trouble and every one else are
replaceable, so I'm sure they will carry on well.
"It's been an honor to
have played with Bruce, Rick and Eric.
"I would also like to mention to
Kerrang Magazine that I'm not leaving to become a preacher as you once
noted many years ago and never corrected."
