Asking Alexandria is back — including the return of former frontman Danny Worsnop and some new music in the works.
The band’s guitarist Ben Bruce confirmed during a Facebook Live video the dismissal of current lead singer Denis Stoff. At the beginning of the video, Bruce starts off by saying, “We have parted ways with Denis, and there are a number of reasons for that.” He later ends with, “Asking Alexandria is back to the way we started with the original f—ing members.”
Worsnop even took to Instagram to make an official announcement about the reunion, saying, “It’s a beautiful nostalgia that feels like nothing ever changed.”
With the return of Worsnop comes a question of new music. Worsnop recently tweeted that he was visiting Bruce and From First to Last‘s Matt Good to “maybe play a little music.” Later, Good tweeted that there was indeed some musical fusion taking place and now they are in the midst of mixing a new song.
About to fly to Arizona to visit Mr @benjaminbruce and Mr @mattg00d. Who knows, maybe play a little music…
