Jeff Hatrix leaves Mushroomhead

Mushroomhead vocalist and co-founder Jeff Hatrix, aka Jeffrey Nothing, has left the band according to online reports.

Blabbermouth have printed a statement from the singer where he says he’s leaving the Cleveland outfit with a “heavy heart.”

He adds: “It is a decision that I did not make easily, but one I made for reasons that are best for me as an artist and musician at this juncture in my career.”

Later in his statement, Hatrix praised “the craziest, fucking loyal and amazing fans” of the band and described his 24-years with the group as a “once-in-a-lifetime privilege.”

In 2015, vocalist Waylon Reavis left the band, citing “irreconcilable differences” for his departure.

There’s been no comment from Mushroomhead at the time of writing, with the band still scheduled to head out on tour over the coming weeks across the US. They’ll be joined by Vyces, Gabriel And The Apocalypse, Ventana, Align The Tide and Blood Sun.
