Stars Who Quit But Reluctantly Tried To Come Back

Though he quit of his own accord-nobody wanted him to leave-Triumvirat's musician/lead singer/songwriter the late Helmut Koellen, who left Triumvirat around the end of the touring in support of the record Spartacus at the end of 1975, was later asked to return to the band, and he did, but for various reasons-a main one being that he found their newer music somewhat outside of his vocal range-he did not stay. At that time, he was also having to deal with issues surrounding the German draft of soldiers going on.

I might have to look into some books for the details.

Your response has been reported.

You have upset me, and I do take offense to your comments; everybody has a right on this forum to talk about whatever prog band they want to, and how many times they want to; if you don't like it, just scroll on. Frankly, i know a lot of people on this forum that are fixated or "obsessed" if you want to bring that term into it, on some band; if you don't like it, take a hike, and get a life, instead of getting negative about it.

I have been going great guns on Triumvirat since I joined PA in 2010, but I also have other bands I talk about on the forums here, and have been doing both without any complaints....it isn't so awkward....
