It has been reported that founding guitarist Rune Rebellion has decided to leave TURBONEGRO. While he is stepping down from his post as rhythm guitarist, he will continue in his instrumental role in running the band’s label, Scandinavian Leather Recordings, as well as managing a lot of the touring business. These tasks have been largely his responsibility also thus far, and the workload of the combined roles as on-stage rebel and behind-the-scenes organizer was what made it necessary for him to leave the band.  Rune’s last show will be this Saturday in Stavanger, Norway.  It’s not certain yet, but it’s likely he won’t be replaced.
