LOCK UP drummer Nick Barker has announced his departure from the band.
“After “not feeling it” for a considerable amount of time and pondering my future within the ranks of the band, I’ve decided to call it a quits with Lock Up! There’s no bad blood or ill feeling in any way, those guys are my brothers and I wish them well… I have a couple of new musical endeavors in the pipeline that will come to light when the time is right. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank my ex-band mates and all the fans around the world for their support over the course of 20+ years I served as drummer in the band… Much love to you all”.
