Lordi drummer Kita has been fired – for unmasking himself.
The band have issued the following statement: “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.”
