Pat Lennon, Kipp Lennon, Roger Waters, Mark Lennon, Michael Lennon
Michael Lennon who was meant to be singing backing vocals with his band Venice on Roger Waters The Wall Live Tour has had to leave the tour due to his voice being unsuitable for the pieces he was assigned.
This happened before the tour started back in August so must have been quite bad news for him.
Goodbye Cruel World… It’s Over…
He said in his band’s newsletter, “Unfortunately, the vocal part I was assigned ended up out of my natural range, and made it very difficult for me to consistently deliver……and I don’t like “not delivering.” Luckily for Pat, and for Venice, these parts seem to be in his “wheelhouse” (the strong part of his voice).
As crazy as this whole situation has been, this is still an amazing opportunity for Venice. I love my brother and cousins, and of course it will be strange to have them traveling to gigs, checking into hotels, laughing until crying and ultimately singing on stage without me, but I wish them all the best on this tour, and I know they will blow people away with “that sound.”"
