Worsnop wishes Asking Alexandria well for future

Former Asking Alexandria frontman Danny Worsnop has wished his former colleagues well with his replacement Denis Stoff.

The former Make Me Famous vocalist, full name Denis Shaforostov, was revealed last week, along with his debut I Won’t Give In.

Worsnop, who quit earlier this year to concentrate on We Are Harlot, tweeted the track and said: “New Asking Alexandria song, first since my departure, out now – very happy to hear shit’s still going strong.”

His comment comes after AA guitarist Ben Bruce admitted they were happier without Worsnop, adding: “It needed to happen for… I want to say a few months, but it’s probably more like a few years. Danny just stopped caring about Asking Alexandria.”

But he said of the phone conversation that confirmed the split: “It wasn’t a nasty, angry call – it was more of an, ‘Alright, see you later, dude.’”

Asking Alexandria had planned two UK shows to introduce Stoff to fans, but they were forced to cancel over visa issues. We Are Harlot will perform at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods next month.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
