"FATAL SMILE - R.I.P.
At some point in your life you'll have to 'kill your darlings'...and it's with a heavy heart I have to inform you that I'm laying my dear band FATAL SMILE to rest...in peace!
I sure know it's a really bad timing with a new album to be released & we just kicked off our first show of the
tour last nite & really sorry for letting the fans down that have bought tickets
for the shows...
But at a certain point in life you'll have to make decisions if things are really worth doing it...??
I have come to that point when the answer is no, it's no longer worth sacrificing everything in my life, my heart & soul just to keep the 'FS-train' rolling...
It's been an epic journey since I started the band back in 1995 & I had a blast doing it & 'living the dream'...
A million thank's to all of you for your endless support & love during those 'Fatal years' & thank's to all the band members during this time...
I will sure keep writing & playing music, that's for sure!!!
Take care & be well.
Peace & Love,
Yüksel Unutmaz aka 'MR. Y' / 'Yxan'"
