Kingdom of Sorrow’s Kirk Windstein to Skip Ozzfest for Rehab, Type O Negative Guitarist to Fill In

by | Aug 13, 2010

Kirk Windstein of Kingdom of Sorrow will sit out the group’s upcoming Ozzfest run to attend rehab. Windstein will be replaced by Kenny Hickey of Type O Negative for the stint.
 
Windstein comments: “Hey all, Kirk here. Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be taking a much needed break and will not be joining my bros in KOS for Ozzfest. I have entered the AA program and am turning over a new leaf. 25 years of gigging and touring has taken its toll and my drinking is now preventing me from being the healthiest, best player that I can be. It’s been a fun ride, but I’m ready to tackle this sober and look forward to being at the top of my game with all of my projects! I am happy to say that Kenny Hickey will once again be filling my spot for these 8 shows. Thanks Kenny, I love you bro!!! Thanks to everyone for their support.”
