Die Australier Airbourne trennen sich von David Roads dem Gitarristen. Ersetzen ihn auch gleich mit dem Palace Of The King 6-Saiter Harri Harrison. David verlässt die Band aus familiären Gründen. Hier aber doch gleich das komplette Statement der Band;

„David Roads has decided to leave the band to work in his family business. As the old saying goes, ‚You can take the boy out of the farm, but you can’t take the farm out of the boy.‘ We say, good on ya mate, well played and good luck! Now to the future, and it’s all guns blazing foot to the floor! Introducing you to our new AIRBOURNE brother, he’s our longtime staunch mate Harri ‚The Riff Doctor‘ Harrison. Possessing a gifted rock ’n‘ roll right-hand motor, he already ‚fits in like a well-greased piston into a V8‘ and we are all pumped to be bringing his powerful locomotive-like rhythm with us to rock the summer festivals!“

David Roads fässt sich da ein wenig kürzer;

Many thanks to all the fans. It has been an absolute pleasure rocking out with you guys over the years. It was great to be a part of this wild AIRBOURNE ride! Cheers!
