Farewell to Davide Laugelli, Welcome to Giacomo Laurenti
Italian melodic death metal band Disease Illusion announces an important lineup change as longtime bassist Davide Laugelli departs and Giacomo "Jack" Laurenti officially joins the band. The transition will take place during the band's upcoming show on December 16 at Associazione Bunker, where Davide will make his final appearance on stage.
A Farewell to Davide Laugelli
After years of dedication and countless live performances, Davide Laugelli has decided to step down due to personal and professional commitments that no longer allow him to fully dedicate himself to the band. Despite his departure, he will share the stage one last time, playing select songs during the December 16 show before passing the torch to Giacomo "Jack" Laurenti.
Davide shared his thoughts on the transition:
"Unfortunately, in recent times, my many commitments have made it impossible for me to continue giving my best and fully enjoying my time with Disease Illusion. That’s why December 16 will be my last time on stage with the band. I won’t be playing the full set, as I want to leave space for my successor, but I will be there for a few songs. It will be an honor to share the stage with him, and I wish Jack, Joy, Federico, Alessandro, and Zoppy all the best as they continue this journey. Thank you all for these unforgettable years."
Welcoming Giacomo "Jack" Laurenti
With the departure of Davide, Disease Illusion is excited to introduce Giacomo "Jack" Laurenti as the band’s new bassist. His background, musicianship, and energy will bring fresh dynamics to the band's sound as they move forward. Fans will get to experience the new lineup live for the first time at Associazione Bunker on December 16.
"It’s never easy to say goodbye to a bandmate, especially someone as integral as Davide," said Disease Illusion in a collective statement. "He has been a part of our journey for so many years, and we are grateful for all the incredible memories. At the same time, we are thrilled to welcome Jack into the Disease Illusion family and can't wait to see what the future holds with him on board."
