Aussie hardcore heavyweights Northlane have announced their lead vocalist Adrian Fitipaldes has quit the band, in a statement on Facebook this morning.

In the long post, the band confirmed Fitipaldes, who has been with Northlane since they formed in 2009, begun to find "the wear and tear of Northlane and our schedule to be too stressful towards his health, both physically and mentally."

"It is with regret that we announce that Adrian Fitipaldes has decided to leave Northlane and will no longer be our vocalist moving forward. Adrian has been a part of Northlane since our inception, but has chosen not to continue on with the band."

"Northlane is our passion and something we put every part of ourselves into. We love our fans, our music and our art more than anything, and we live for performing live and making music. Unfortunately, Adrian had found the wear and tear of Northlane and our schedule to be too stressful towards his health, both physically and mentally. What we do is not easy, it takes huge amounts of hard work and dedication, and we respect Adrian for doing what was right for him personally."
