Martyn LeNoble To Sit Out Porno For Pyros Farewell Tour
Porno for Pyros excited fans last year when they reunited for a handful of shows, and now they’re gearing up for more. They’ve just announced the “Horns, Thorns, En Halos Farewell Tour” which will will be their farewell tour. The 15-city outing will take them from coast to coast. The band has also released a new single called “Agua,” that will be part of an upcoming self-titled EP.
“Now we’re here, and that same heart, that same desire to make music together, has returned. Getting together with these guys has been some of the most fun, the happiest times in my life,” says lead singer Perry Farrell.
With all the good news comes some less good news as original bassist Martyn LeNoble has announced he won’t be taking part in the tour. He shared his thoughts in an Instagram post:
“In 1992, as we were forming the band, the city was on fire and we reflected everything that was happening in our city, in the world, and in our own personal lives. You can hear that in our music on the first album.
I’m so excited for the world to hear ‘Agua’ and the other unreleased material from our recent sessions. There is a real connection between these new songs and how we’ve grown. We’ve mended our friendships and recorded these songs with love. I think you will hear that in the recordings.
I’ve changed. I like quiet and nature. With that being said, I will be following my passion for wildlife and will not be part of the upcoming tour. I wish my brothers Perry, Pete and Stephen the best. I’m truly grateful for every moment I spent with them. Most importantly, thank you to all of you for all of the amazing support and memories.”
Porno for Pyros has not named their bassist for the upcoming tour. Punk legend Mike Watt was a member through the years, though his presence has not been announced. We’ll keep you updated with details as they become available.
