Volbeat and guitarist Rob Caggiano have parted ways after 10 years. Caggiano joined Volbeat in 2013 after spending over a decade in Anthrax, and has not yet commented on the reason for his departure. Volbeat has announced guitarist Flemming C. Lund as their current live fill-in.
"After ten incredible years we must sadly announce that Volbeat and Rob Caggiano have parted ways. During our time together we've traveled the world sharing great experiences and released four albums that we are immensely proud of, and we wouldn't change a moment of it.
"We wish our brother Rob all the best with everything he does in the future (we know it's going to be great)! Filling those shoes on stage will be a herculean task, but our good friend Flemming C. Lund (The Arcane Order) will be jumping in to handle lead guitar on our 2023 shows.
"Thank you to all of our incredible fans for their support, and more importantly, thank you to Rob for ten amazing years."
