After over ten years with the band, Steve Hewitt has decided to part ways with Placebo. The split is said to be amicable and the result of the band members growing apart, but I still couldn't help but let out a "whoah" when I discovered this news. Brian and Stefan will continue on with the band -- and are even planning their next album -- though they have said they are in "no hurry" to find a replacement for Steve.
That is definitely not news I was expecting to report today.
