A statement from THE OTHER about Aaron Torn’s departure:
“After only two years we have to say goodbye to bassist Aaron Torn. Aaron decided to leave The Other to pursue different musical projects. We are very sad to announce the passing of yet another bandmember and a good friend and musician. We would have wanted things to be different and finally have a stable line-up again. We have never thrown anybody out of the band, we are friends with all ex-members of The Other, they come to our shows or to rehearsals, they play songs live with us (like Andy Only recently), they sing backings in the studio and we meet and drink together.
The good news is that we have always returned stronger after a line-up change and we are sure that this will be the case again.
If it weren’t for all of you out there who support the band and follow us through the hard times, we would not be here any more. So bear with us, believe in us and give us the chance to keep The Other going. A big thank you to all you supporters/listeners/fans out there. And a big thank you to Aaron for two awesome years and the great tours of Germany, UK and the USA, some big festivals and our best album „Fear Itself“ together. Good luck on your way.”
