Evanescence have announced that they're to borrow drummer Will Hunt and guitarist Troy McLawhorn from US rock band Dark New Day. The pair will be taking the place of John Lecompt, who announced earlier this month that he'd been fired from the group by lead singer Amy Lee, and bandmate and longtime friend Rocky Gray, who apparently quit in reaction to this move.
The temporary additions were set to make their live debut with the band over the weekend at the Rock On The Range festival in Ohio, and are expected to tour with Evanescence until the group complete their Family Values tour in September; it's not clear if their involvement will continue in any capacity beyond that date.
