Why Did Danny Worsnop Leave Asking Alexandria

  On January 22, 2015, Danny Worsnop had talked about his departure from the band, Asking Alexandria. Danny Worsnop stated that “He wants what’s best for the band”. He is leaving to now focus on his new band “We Are Harlot”, but non the less Asking Alexandria will be touring and also recording a new album-despite no other announcements have been made about the bands replacement. Fans were not happy because they believed that Danny was the essential to the band’s sound. Other’s on the other hand were not surprised by the career choice. As far to say that he sounds and performs better in his new band We Are Harlot then he did with Asking Alexandria. Danny himself has made it clear that he loved being a part of Asking Alexandria but he didn’t want to keep creating heavy metal music, saying that even if he hadn’t been part of We Are Harlot he would have left the band anyway. Danny further commented the he also grew apart from the rest of the band musically and had reached a point where he wanted to be able to do different things: to change from a heavy metal band to a rock band. Ben Bruce the guitarist of Asking Alexandria had admitted that the band was doing great since Danny’s departure, although Danny continued to show support for the band after they released their new album “I Won’t Give In”, featuring Denis Stoff as the main vocalist with a positive response on his social media page. When Danny was asked if he would ever make heavy metal music again online and he responded with, “Not opposed to it, but nothing planned at this point in time.” On October 21, 2016, Ben Bruce confirmed that Danny has reunited with asking Alexandria after parting ways with Stoff after around 18 months.-by Jasmine Parra
