The past months have been pretty emotional for us. There will be a major change in our lineup. As Adeline announced during our performance at Fusion Festival, she has to leave the band due to health issues. We are really saddened for her and truly hope she gets better soon. We are sending her all our love and heartfelt best wishes for her future ! 💖
