Danny bows out of Wildhearts reunion
lanky by Nick Lancaster. June 23rd, 2001

Wildhearts bassist Danny McCormack has left the band's reunion tour due to "a huge problem with heroin".

Says frontman Ginger, "It's beyond music, it's beyond The Wildhearts. Unless he gets himself sorted, unless he gets himself off the filth someone I know and love is gonna die. He needs treatment. The Wildhearts don't matter when it's verses someone's life. The last thing we need is another rock 'n' roll casualty - especially in the form of Danny McCormack!"

Antiproduct bassist Toshi, ex-bassist of a Japanese Wildhearts tribute band, will replace Danny on the remaining dates.
