PETE LOCKETT RETIREMENT ANNOUNCEMENT

Some of you may have noticed I have been pretty under the radar this last eighteen months? Fear not, all is fine health wise – thankfully. Anyway, Pasic last November with Thomas Lang was amazing and the reaction afterwards was overwhelmingly positive. However, since then I decided to take a complete break from every aspect of music. During that time I have re-evaluated my overall life objectives and have now decided to retire from all touring, performance & recording.

It has been an amazing journey for the last 35 years and I feel blessed to have shared part of that journey with all of you. It has been an opportunity to play the best gear with the best artists and be with the very best people. Every single moment is a cherished and deeply valued memory. I LOVE you all and will miss you! Sadly, I will not see you on social media either as all these accounts have been closed. I know that the industry continues to face huge challenges on every front. I sincerely hope that this can all turn around very soon for everyone and that a sustainable stability can come to the fore once again. For myself, I feel fantastically excited for my new adventures and look forward positively to what awaits me, whatever that may be?
