KASIM SULTON - SULTON QUITS NEW CARS

SULTON QUITS NEW CARS

Former UTOPIA rocker KASIM SULTON has dropped out of THE CARS reunion project to reunite with MEAT LOAF on tour. The bass player joined ex-bandmate TODD RUNDGREN when The Cars hit the road as THE NEW CARS with BLONDIE earlier this year (06). That tour stalled in June (06) when the guitarist was injured in a tourbus crash. And, now the group is preparing to return to the road, Sulton will instead tour with Meat Loaf on his Bat Out Of Hell III tour. The bass player appeared on Meat Loaf's first BAT OUT OF HELL album and has regularly toured with the rocker. A replacement for Sulton has been hired but has yet to be announced.
