Mark Alexander (Time to move on)
 

Mark Alexander has left The Netherland Express,

He posted this on his website earlier...

Time to move on...

It is with great regret that I will not be joining Meat Loaf on his upcoming "Teddy Bear" tour. I wish him all the best. To the fans, I will miss seeing your happy faces in the crowd, speaking with you at the shows, and having a good laugh afterwards. After 20 years, sharing many of life's highs and lows, triumphs and tragedies, the band and crew are like brothers and sisters to me. Fate is fickle- possibly and hopefully we'll meet again soon. Our circle will not be broken. I wish you all the best. Please stay healthy, wise, and keep in touch.

wow, surprised big time at this one as I thought he might be the new Musical director

Mark Alexander left the Neverland Express
 

Mark Alexander is now longer a member of The Neverland Express.

He won't be part of the upcoming world Tour.

Another sad news after the announcement of Kasim's departure...

Florence

Wow that is crazy!

This is getting a little out of hand. 60% of why I go to the concerts are to see these guys! It's such a shame they're not staying :(

Hmm it got me thinking: Mark is playing in Kasim´s band... :-)

Sad news indeed. Mark will be missed!

Well this is crap !!

I've been seeing Meat live since 2006, RAH was my first ever concert and Mark and Kasim have been part of the band everytime I've seen Meat since then :(. This is sad news indeed but I wish both all the luck for whatever they plan to do next.

I have one little request though.... PLEASE DON'T DECIDE TO LEAVE PAUL, PATTI, CC and DAVID !! Don't think I can handle anymore departures :shock: :roll: !!!

I wouldn't miss Luther to be honest.

sad news, but you know what they say: every end is a new beginning!

Whose next, Meat? Kasim and Mark are important elements to the NLE. Aye. :(

Oh wow ... I'm really sorry to hear this :-(
I wish Mark the best of luck in whatever he decides to do.

Vicki

Hey, Meat, why is everybody leaving the band? :shock:

Sad news indeed Mark like Kasim are important members of the NLE however times chance and we must thank Mark for the time and joy he has given us.

I am confident that Meat will make sure someone worthy will fill these 2 very big holes that we are now faced with.

I would like to see Tom Brislin return but the choice is down to the big man.

I thought of Tom Brislin right away too.

WOW, cannot believe that Mark has left again. :-(((
Where's Meat going to get such a Fantastic Piano player?
I was so over joyed when I saw Mark back with Meat at The Night Of
The Proms!
I for one would miss Dave Luther, Love the Sax!

Meat's farts have been getting worse.

Wow. I'm sad about Mark leaving too. On Facebook, Mark seems real excited about a new chapter in his life. I will probably get nostalgic a bit now with two pieces of the band, as we know it, are voided. After learning this, I really feel like watching MSO right now, but I'm at work.

I'm sure Meat's frogs are in overdrive, or maybe he's got it all figured out. Either way, my thoughts are with him as I'm sure he's going to miss Mark on tour.

The only thing I can add are for the accounted:
Florence posted on here CC's exclusive interview: CC is going to be touring with Meat.
And on Paul's Facebook: He's going to be busy with Meat's tour.

Unaccounted:
Patti: ?, John: ?, Randy: ?, Dave: ?, Georgia: ?

Suzieq

Elton John for the position :lol:

I second that Suzieq.

Thanks for the confirmation about CC and Paul :wink: I remember John posting a while back about working on a new drum set for Meat's upcoming tour.

Vicki

You're right, Suzanne : the only sure thing right now is about CC and Paul being part of the upcoming Tour.

Do you think that would work? :lawl:

Elton John for what position? :yikes: :twisted:

If he's taking over keyboards does that make him Elton 'Fingers' John?

Who is Georgia ?

And I forgot Randy.. Oopy !
