'We wish them nothing but happiness, success, joy, compassion and everything they want in all their future endeavours'
Snow Patrol's lead singer Gary Lightbody has revealed that two members of the band have decided to leave.
In a message to fans this morning, Gary said: "Hi everyone, Sorry to be the bearer of such sad news but both Jonny Quinn and Paul Wilson have decided to leave Snow Patrol. Last year, the band became the first Northern Irish artists to receive over one billion streams on a song on Spotify for 'Chasing Cars'.
"His drumming has at times taken on legendary status. His nickname was after all ‘thunderclap’ because he hit the snare drum so hard he was prone to smash right through the drumskin." Meanwhile, Paul Wilson officially joined the band as a bassist in 2005 just before the making of Eyes Open but he had been a live member of the band on guitar for years before that.He added: "Him and Tom Simpson were defo the funniest guys ever to be in SP. Among many other things his mixing up of tv adverts was a comic gem. The mash up of the green giant peas advert and the birds eye fish fingers advert was a particular standout.
