Spiritbox Part Ways With Bassist Bill Crook

Right now, Canada’s Spiritbox are the up-and-coming hard rock band to beat. Unfortunately, the band have now announced that they’ve parted ways with bassist Bill Crook. That said, the split appears to be good-natured, and they’ve replaced him with metalcore bassist Josh Gilbert, so they’ll be good to go for their upcoming tour with Ghost and Mastodon.

Said the band via Twitter:

“We are saddened to announce that Bill Crook will no longer be in Spiritbox. This decision was mutual and with no hard feelings. We ask that you respect his privacy on the matter and we wish him nothing but the best in the future. We would like to thank Josh Gilbert for giving us his time on such short notice to fill in with us.”
