Leaves’ Eyes have confirmed they’ve parted ways with guitarist Sander van der Meer.
He’s been replaced by Pete Streit, who was covering for van der Meer on the road while the guitarist battled health issues.
Streit says in statement: “I’m very happy to get the chance to become a member of Leaves’ Eyes. Their work is highly professional and based on many, many years of experience.
“Everyone has welcomed me with open arms and they have supported me in any way for me to progress on this mission.”
Liv Kristine and co say they wish van der Meer well for the future and will now press ahead with plans for their upcoming European tour which starts in Germany on October 15.
They released a video for the track The Waking Eye exclusively with Metal Hammer last month. It’s taken from their album King Of Kings, out September 14 via AFM.
