Drummer David Koller to leave popular Czech band Lucie

David Koller, the drummer and vocalist from popular Czech band Lucie, is leaving the group to focus on his family and other projects, the band announced on their Facebook page on Sunday. Koller wrote that he will still perform in all the concerts that the band has been contracted to play until the end of the summer. The remaining members of the band said that they plan to carry on and are working on a new album.

Lucie was one of the most successful Czech bands of the 90s, with sell-out shows and chart-topping albums in the years following the Velvet Revolution. Although marked by breakups and comebacks, the band will celebrate 40 years together in 2025.
