Former The Great White frontman Mitch Malloy has recently spoken about his departure from the band in a recent interview. Malloy mentioned how frustrating it was for him, and stated:
“So, yeah, I wasn’t happy. It wasn’t really fun anymore. And it was a lot of work — hard work. One of the hardest jobs I’ve ever had, actually. People don’t understand that, ’cause they see you on stage and they see all this wonderful… The crowd’s there… They don’t see what we had to do to get there.“
He explained further:
“So it was a very difficult way to live. And I did not enjoy that aspect of it. It was just really, really hard. It’s kind of a long story, and I guess people are probably interested in hearing my version of it. But I don’t know… I just don’t really feel like that’s needed. And I don’t wanna hurt their fans as well by saying negative things.”
The frontman mentioned a cliché and summarized why he left:
“When you’re in a band, it’s a relationship, like the old cliché, and you don’t always get along. It’s five guys and different opinions. It was tough. It was time for me to go.”
After Malloy parted ways with The Great White, the band first welcomed their new singer Andrew Freeman. After a short time, the band once again switched their singer and announced that Freeman was out of the band and the new singer would be Brett Carlisle.
Malloy has been working on his solo career since his departure, and he recently released a new album called ‘The Last Song’. Apart from being available on digital music platforms, it was also released in exclusive limited edition black-filling format. The whole album was written, played and produced by Malloy alone.
