Lion's Share Parts Ways With Bassist Sampo Axelsson

Lion’s Share bassplayer Sampo Axelsson has announced his withdrawal from the band.

Sampo Axelsson comments, “After five years in Lion’s Share I have decided to leave the band. This is something I have been considering for quite a while and now the time has come for me to move on. My decision is not in any way based on dissatisfaction or bad blood, I just feel very strongly that I have taken this endeavour as far as I possibly can. Now I'm eager to pursue new challenges, musically as well as in other fields."

"I make this decision knowing that I, during these years, have put all my hard work, dedication and creativity into the band. For me, Lion's Share has been the no 1 priority musically and I am proud of my time in the band and what we have achived."
