Wolfmother Split

After “longstanding frictions” Wolfmother have confirmed that they have split up.

The band’s record label, Universal Music Australia issued a statement explaining that the group’s bassist and keyboardist Chris Ross had left the band “due to irreconcilable personal and musical differences” following their performance at the Splendour In The Grass festival. The statement read: “Andrew Stockdale, Myles Heskett and Chris Ross will make no public statements at this time except to say that they are each really looking forward to making their new music over the years ahead.”

Australia clarified that the Ross and drummer Myles Heskett have started to write songs together and “plan to focus their energies on that new project in the future”. Wolfmother’s frontman Andrew Stockdale has decided to continue under the name Wolfmother and is looking for new members to replace the gaps in the old line-up.

The statement concluded: “In the meantime they simply ask all Wolfmother fans to please understand that in spite of their best efforts over a long period of time, they just could not find a harmonious way to work together and that has lead to the decisions announced today.”
