Iron Maidenin johtohahmon pojalta karmea uutinen - keikkaura lopullisesti ohi?
Iron Maidenin johtohahmon, Steve Harrisin poika George Harris vetäytyy keikkalavoilta. Syynä ovat terveydelliset syyt.
George Harris jättää yhtyeensä The Raven Agen keikkamiehistön tulevan Britannian kierroksen jälkeen.
George Harris oli perustamassa The Raven Age -yhtyettä vuonna 2009.
Harris on kärsinyt terveysongelmista jo kuuden vuoden ajan ja vaivat ovat vaikuttaneet suuresti myös soittamiseen. Harris kertoo somekirjoituksessaan huomanneensa ensimmäiset oireet jo vuonna 2019, mutta mies ajatteli tuolloin ongelmien olevan vain harjoituksen puutetta. Ei ollut.
Vaiva oli selvästi jotain fysiologista. Lopulta ongelma paheni siihen pisteeseen, että kitaransoitosta tuli jatkuvaa taistelua.
"Yritin kaikkea vuosien aikana mutta mikään ei auttanut".
Harris jättäytyy pois bändin keikkatoiminnasta, mutta jatkaa bändin taustamiehenä ja biisien säveltäjänä.
"What most people don't know is that I've been dealing with a health issue for just over six years now that's made playing guitar really difficult. I first noticed it on tour in 2019, at first I thought I just needed more practice or focus but after a while, it became clear it was something physical. Over time it's just become worse, to the point where every time I pick up a guitar it feels more like a fight than the thing I used to love doing most.
For a long time, I really found that hard to deal with. I've tried everything over the years to fix it... physio, rest, treatments, therapy, even surgery to move a nerve but unfortunately, nothing's worked.
"I didn't want to just post one of those 'unforeseen circumstances' statements because I think you guys deserve the truth. So yeah, I've made the really hard decision to stop playing live. The band will carry on with someone else on guitar, and I'll be right there supporting them. I'll still be working behind the scenes with the lads on writing, recording, and keeping TRA moving forward. Luckily most of my writing comes from my head and not my hands, so that side of things isn't going anywhere.
"To the boys in the band and the crew....thank you for everything. The shows, the laughs and the madness.. Sharing the stage with you all has been one of the best things I've ever done, and I'll miss it immensely. Thank you to Dan for initiating the weekly Wednesday evening jam session all those years ago which accidentally snowballed into us being signed to a major record label and catapulted us into becoming a touring band. But honestly, I'm actually looking forward to standing in the crowd for once and watching the boys smash it from the other side. Thanks for all the support over the years!"
