Yeah, I've read it :-X. Damian joining Arena was a wish come true, as he is one of my favourite vocalists, if not the favourite. On the other hand, I also love Paul Manzi's voice. The albums with him are great as well. Arena will go on and that's what counts 😎🤘.

General Discussion / Damian Wilson leaves, Paul Man...

QuoteOFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM ARENA
Arena wishes to announce that Damian Wilson has decided to step down as vocalist at the end of 2026. We thank him for his time with us and for the energy and talent he brought to the band... we wish him luck for the future, but before he goes, Damian will perform a final set of shows with Arena at the end of 2026.
After more than three decades together, Arena remains as determined and creative as ever. We're already preparing for the next chapter — new music, new shows, and new adventures!
Of course, that requires a singer, and Mick, Clive, John and Kylan are very excited to announce the return of the amazing Paul Manzi to the fold!
Thank you to all our fans for your unwavering support. The story of Arena continues...

Enjoyed 'The Great Adventour: Live In Brno ~ 2019' by The Neal Morse Band yesterday. They brought my favourite NMB album to life really great. And my wife knows the lyrics even better than I do, she also loves it! 8)
