Comment the band on departure: ''Sonny has decided to part ways with the band due to being increasingly busy with other projects. We're sad to see him go and cherish all the great memories from the road and fun we had together! We'd like to say a big thank you for all the energy and time you've given to Angel Nation and wish you all the best with everything in the future! We can't wait to hang out again as soon as it's possible!"

I have learnt so much being in Angel Nation, not least about myself but also as an avid musician. I have played some of the best shows in my life being in this band and have traveled to some of the most beautiful locations.

"Most importantly I would like to thank everybody who has shown their support throughout the years, meeting all of you wonderful fans has been incredible and i hope to meet you all in the near future! Elina, Julia, Lucas and George, i am going to miss sharing the stage with you and thank you for the memories! Thank you all so much!"
