Cradle of Filth release additional statement about the exit of Zoe Marie Federoff

Extreme metal band Cradle of Filth has released a statement about keyboardist and vocalist Zoe Marie Federoff parting ways with the band. The band has also announced a replacement, at least for the remaining shows that the band has scheduled.

Hello Filthlings,

A strange turn of events have manifested out here on tour for CRADLE OF FILTH in South America.

Our keyboardist/backing singer Zoe Smerda has chosen to leave the band mid-tour, effective immediately.

We, of course, wish her all the best for the future and we as a band will continue onward and upward as always with a replacement singer here in Kelsey Peters, one of the very talented CREWDLE members.

In life, one cannot always foresee what the future holds for us, but we will remain ever-professional and continue on with ‘The Screaming Of The Americas’ concerts for our fans without allowing any of this to sully our onward trajectory.

So, our South and Central American brethren, we will see you at the next spat of relentless shows.

The shows have already been incredible in Brazil and we are just so exceptionally appreciative of your massive and passionate attendance, my friends and fiends alike.

Long live the FILTH!

Dani Filth, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
