The Flaming Lips Drummer Addresses Steven Drozd's Departure: 'The Show is Better Than Ever'

The Flaming Lips drummer Matthew Duckworth Kirksey has addressed the departure of Steven Drozd from the band. In a recent statement, Kirksey expressed his confidence in the band's current lineup and teased that new music is on the way.

Kirksey's statement comes after Drozd's departure from the band was announced earlier this year. The drummer had been a key member of the band since 1998 and had played on several of their albums.

Despite Drozd's departure, Kirksey remains optimistic about the band's future. 'The show is better than ever,' he said in a statement. 'We've got a great lineup and we're excited to get back out there and perform for our fans.'

Kirksey also hinted that the band is working on new music, calling it 'the best thing we've done in ages.' The drummer did not provide any further details about the upcoming album, but fans can expect to hear more from The Flaming Lips in the coming months.

The Flaming Lips have been a staple of the psychedelic rock scene for over two decades, known for their experimental sound and energetic live performances. With Drozd's departure, the band has undergone a significant change, but it appears that they are ready to move forward and continue making music.
