us that the Dropkick Murphys recently sent out an email to notify fans that the band's piper Spicey McHaggis has left the band. It seems that McHaggis has found a girl and is leaving the band to be with her. For now the band's original piper Joe Delaney is filling in, but they are searching to a permanent member. Click below for the email from the band.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT:
Dropkick Murphys resident romancer extraordinaire Spicey McHaggis has hung up his boots at the ripe old age of 19.Â
Simply put, he met a girl on the road, on went the leash and bye bye went Spicey.
Whilst in the past it is possible the exploits of said McHaggis may not have always been true and admittedly were often based more on the side of fantasy rather than reality it is true that the former Spicy McHaggis has become so whipped by this fair maiden that he has decided to abandon his comrades and the glamorous life of a rock and roll piper so that he can cuddle up permanently with his newest love!
Never ones to give up in the face of adversity the band will forge on and will not stop until we have unearthed a veritable McHaggis to take lover-boy's place. Until then our old faithful friend Joe Delaney (our original piper) will be filling in. However due to previous marital engagements Joe is not allowed to mix with members of the opposite sex.
We'd like to extend a big thank you to Joe and several other piper friends who have volunteered to fill until such time as we find a suitable fulltime rover, who is set to break hearts while having his drinking problem subsidized by clubs around the world.
