Lorna Shore have announced CJ McCreery is no longer the vocalist.

The band issued the following statement:

“Effective immediately, CJ McCreery is no longer the vocalist of Lorna Shore.”

McCreery replaced Tom Barber last year when Barber joined Chelsea Grin.  The band recently unveiled a new video for the song “Immortal.” The single is the title track taken from the group’s new album, which is currently scheduled to arrive on January 31st via Century Media. However, with this sudden change and no explanation behind it, we aren’t sure what the band’s plans are.

Update: The reason for McCreery’s sudden dismissal appears to be due to abuse allegations, which you can read further via Twitter.
