He will always be a friend and a member of the DragonForce family.” As sad as we are to lose him, we are excited that he is going to continue playing the music he loves. Li comments, “We want to thank Fred for all the musical contributions and good times over the years. Leclercq’s last show with DragonForce was at Elb-Riot in Hamburg, Germany. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the greatest triangle player ever to grace this earth.”Īdditionally, Stevie T will step in to play bass for the band, after the departure of bassist Frédéric Leclercq, which was also recently announced.
