The Pipettes Face Another Lineup Change

November 13, 2008
The Pipettes Face Another Lineup ChangeThe Pipettes have faced their second line up change of the year with the departure of member Anna McDonald.

Revealing the information via a blog on MySpace, McDonald chose to leave the group after only 7 months to pursue other opportunities.

"The most recent addition to the Pipettes, Anna MacDonald, has abruptly announced her decision, but days ago, to pursue a song-writing career outside of the band," says the remaining members, Gwenno and Ani.

"As a consequence, we are regretfully forced to cancel our performance at SWN Festival this Friday. This is something we are all very upset about."

"Plans to record the next Pipettes album are still afoot, and as such, our quest for the perfect Pipette continues..."

The band lost two founding members Rosay and RiotBecki in April 2008 due to both of them wanting to pursue other musical projects.
