Lexxi Foxx Leaves Steel Panther

Lexxi Foxx

Steel Panther has announced the “end of an era” with the departure of bassist Lexxi Foxx. The humorous glam metal band, which Foxx has been a part of since its 2000 inception, released a statement.

“Lexxi has chosen to hang up his mirror and focus on his newfound passion. Making ugly dogs pretty. Anyway, after nearly 40 years of rocking together and taking Steel Panther from the Viper Room to headlining Wembley Arena, it is with heavy hearts – but great heavy metal memories – that we bid Lexxi Foxx farewell. We love you and we wish you a wonderful future putting eyeliner on chihuahuas,” they wrote. “Steel Panther will continue to rock the world. And though we may not ever find a bassist quite as beautiful as Lexxi, it shouldn’t be hard to find one to match his towering intellect. Good Luck… And goodbye Lexxi Foxx!!

A replacement for Foxx (real name Travis Haley) has not been named.
