Lordi drummer fired for taking off mask

Finnish heavy metal monsters LORDI have released the following statement:

"It is our unfortunate task to inform that Kita [drums] is no longer a member of LORDI.

"Kita has made a decision to pursue his own career publicly as himself, without his alter ego Kita. This is in direct conflict with one of the cornerstones of LORDI's image. Therefore it is not possible for him to continue as a member of the band anymore.

"LORDI will continue as always, masked and costumed, consisting of monster personas. Also, the upcoming tour will happen as planned.

"We thank Kita for the years he has been an important part of the band and our successes and wish him all the best in his future."
