Des Kensel announced on Instagram that he has left High On Fire.
Drummer Des Kensel has announced his departure from High On Fire . The information came via an Instagram post.
He wrote: “As a founding member of High On Fire, I feel blessed to have spent the last 21 years traveling the world pursuing my childhood dream of writing and playing music. After eight albums, countless tours and a Grammy, I am very grateful for what we have accomplished as a band.
Being a full-time professional musician has its challenges. You overcome them with patience, hard work, and perseverance.
After much consideration, it's time to announce that I will no longer be performing with High On Fire. I will now focus on new opportunities and spend time with my family.
I wanted to sincerely thank all the fans for their support over the years. Without you, none of this would be possible.
Finally, I want to wish my bandmates the best of luck for the future.”
