Lead Singer Kumar Bent Leaves Raging Fyah

07/10/2018

Even though there are dozens of positive sayings about changes and new beginnings that certainly contain a lot of truth, these news are a big shock.

Lead singer Kumar Bent today announced (via Facebook & Instagram) his decision to leave Raging Fyah: 

"Greetings FyahSquad,

After some lengthy deliberation and meditation, it is with a heavy heart that I feel compelled to announce my decision to leave the band “Raging Fyah”. I believe all concerned will benefit from a parting of ways at this point and I see this as the inevitable conclusion.

We all have our own Paths to follow in this World, and mine has carried me to where I am today as an Artist/Musician. My history with Raging Fyah has given me immense experience and I am very grateful for this, but please know, all the Love and Support is not forgotten, and I will continue to grow and appreciate what the future may hold.

Please respect my decision and sense of privacy at this delicate time.

One Love, Kumar “Fyah” Bent"

Although no official statement has been given by the rest of the group as yet it seems as if this could be the end of Raging Fyah.

Raging Fyah is supposed to tour the US end of July/August and appear on Reggae Sumfest - July 21, 2018!
