VENUS GRRRLS confirmed earlier this week that they were going from a quintet to a quartet with the departure of keyboardist Grace Stubbings.
"My own creative practice is leading me in a different direction, into acoustic ecology, and working outdoors with sound, sonics and community. Now feels like the right time to follow that path," she writes on Instagram.
"I co-founded the band with the girls back at university, and I can’t give enough thanks to all of the fans, promoters, team members, radio stations, artists, and everyone we’ve met who has believed in us and collaborated with us along the way. A huge thank you as well to my home, Teesside, for supporting us from the very beginning.
"I’m so excited to see what the future holds for the band. The music we’ve been working on together is really exciting, and I hope you all love it as much as we do."
The band adds: "Grace, thank you so much for your humour, talent, and dedication to VENUS GRRRLS. We will miss you so much as a band mate but will remain your friends forever. Here are some of our favourite memories together. Love, your grrrls <3"
