MORRIGAN Loses Member

MORRIGAN has announced that guitarist PITTY has withdrawn from the band. The musician had been hospitalized for a few days, and the band believed him when he said that his break was due to worsening tonsillitis and that he would be returning. However, after being out of contact for awhile, he indicated that he wanted to leave the band and could not be persuaded by members to change his mind. Members have since discovered that he has incurred some debts. The remaining members say that they will continue activities without him.
