Robb Flynn ‘In Tears’

Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn says he has been “sick” since sacking Adam Duce.

The bassist was dismissed following 21 years of service to the band on February 11, with the news being made public at the weekend. Flynn, however, says the inner pain it has caused him has yet to recede, despite stating that Duce was “sick” of life with the group.

“Adam hasn’t been happy in this band for a long time” he recalls. “But how do you leave? To a guy like Adam everything is either winning or losing. While that sounds great for a TV show or an interview, life just isn’t like that.

“I’ve cried every day since…I’ve been an emotional wreck. I was sick the day we announced it, walking around about to vomit for two hours.”
