The Crowns and Victorio Gauci to take separate ways
Both parties announced the news during the first weekend of February with posts on their respective social media pages. Victorio's post read: "Dearest family and friends, I want you all to know after much consideration and a heavy heart that I will be departing from the lead singer of ‘The Crowns’ to pursue new opportunities in music, as a singer and most of all to be with my family.
I started the band way back in 2010, and I will never look back. Yes, it wasn’t an easy decision, but we decided to part ways and have a fresh start. 14 years is not a joke but looking forward to new beginnings.
While it will be different, it is time for me to explore new artistic avenues. I am so excited to continue and can’t wait for all of you to see what I will have in store for you.
Feel free to get in touch with me, I am eager to start this new chapter in my life!
Your support means the world to me!"
Melodija team wished all the best to both parties on their new adventures
