Surely they were prepping new material. Dark Matter was released 3 years ago. Oh, this surely means a year or two or 3 more for a new IQ album at best, or possibly a big split at worst! |

This is a shock, and a sad one, imho- here's Martin's take on it...It seems though, that the band are continuing without him as he pursues his solo career.
MARTIN TO LEAVE IQ
With great sadness, we have to announce that Martin Orford has decided to leave IQ. A founder member of the band since its inception in 1981, his contribution to IQ in the years since then has been incalculable. Everyone will be extremely sorry to see him go but we wish him every success in his future endeavours. Martin explains the reasons for his decision: "So...26 years in IQ. Well, it had to end sometime and after a lot of thought I've decided to (metaphorically speaking) hang up my keyboard player's cape and give someone else a chance. The good news is that IQ will continue and they would like to hear from any keyboard players interested in stepping into Martin's illustrious shoes. Please email us at: [email protected]. Live dates in November and December will still be going ahead. Meanwhile, work progresses on the new studio album, with Martin's involvement, although the release date has been put back while the band concentrate on recruiting a new keyboard player. Full details will be announced nearer the time. |
