discuss the lack of drummer
and the inevitable break up that will follow
or am I just being pessimistic? crying
PLACEBO PART COMPANY WITH DRUMMER STEVE HEWITT
Placebo have parted company with drummer of 11 years, Steve Hewitt, due to personal and musical differences.
Brian Molko commented "Being in a band is very much like being in a marriage, and in couples - in this case a triple - people can grow apart over the years. To say that you don't love your partner anymore is inaccurate, considering all that you've been through and achieved together. There simply comes a point when you realize that you want different things from your relationship and that you can no longer live under the same roof, so to speak."
The split is amicable and a sad time for both parties. Steve Hewitt replaced Robert Schultzberg behind the drum kit in 1996 whilst the band were promoting Placebo’s eponymous debut album and went on to record the following 4 studio albums ‘Without You I’m Nothing’, ‘Black Market Music’, ‘Sleeping With Ghosts’ and most recently ‘Meds’.
Placebo have just returned from the USA where they were part of the high profile ‘Projekt Revolution Tour’ alongside Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance. The band are now taking a well earned break.
Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal will begin work on Placebo’s 6th studio album next Spring and are in no rush to find an immediate replacement for Steve.

I keep going back to PlaceboWorld, hoping that there will be another message, saying that minds have been changed, and he's coming back.
Nothing.
But I've got to keep my mood high. Obviously, there's a very good reason for the big change, and I hope they're all happier now.

I was just doing daily routine on the net, which includes checking placeboworld, when i saw that Steve had left.
I screamed and began to cry.
I automaticly started telling everyone from that day on.
A while later i herd that he left because he gave someone the wrong kind of cocain or some drug or something and it killed them...
Anyone here know if that is true or not?

I'm not positive. All I remember hearing was that they left on good terms over creative and musical differences. Then again, what band hasn't broken up over creative or musical differences?
I'll look into it farther.
