It;s also an opportunity for Xentrix fans to see the band with Chris up front again so get tickets sorted now!! - It's funny how news comes that Phil Demmel steps off the tour and now Astley steps in...."
Guitarist Kristian Havard chimed in: “It's great news that Jay and his partner Louise are expecting another baby and we couldn't be happier for them both, it's always 'Family First' in this band.
