Nothing Stands in Lacuna Coil’s Way… Except Losing Two Members

On the eve of the release of their new album, Broken Crown Halo, Lacuna Coil have announced the loss of two members. Luckily, female vocalist Cristina Scabbia isn’t one of them, and surprisingly, neither is male vocalist Not Cristina Scabbia.

Says the band via their Facebook page:

Dear friends,

It is with a heavy heart that we share this news with you today: Our two brothers Cris ‘Pizza’ Migliore and Cristiano ‘CriZ’ Mozzati have decided to retire from LACUNA COIL.

Both Pizza and CriZ have had big changes impact their lives recently – we know how stressful and difficult it can be to balance both real life and the life of a professional touring musician, and we have nothing but total respect for their decisions to focus on their families and lives at home.

We have such incredible memories of traveling and exploring the world together with Pizza and CriZ, and we want to wish them both all the best as they begin these exciting new chapters in their lives. We will never forget the important roles they played in this band, or the incredible times we shared together.

THANK YOU PIZZA AND CRIZ! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Cristina, Andrea, Marco, and Maus.
LACUNA COIL

Ironically, the first single from Broken Crown Halo, released just a week ago, is called “Nothing Stands in Our Way.” Actually, that may not be ironic: I’d wager that as long as Scabbia is in Lacuna Coil, the band’s fans will not abandon them. Call it a hunch.

Broken Crown Halo comes out April 1 on Century.
