Legendary folk/metal/Gregorian chanting/ragga/jazz/happy hardcore band Toe, officially listed as "The 2nd Most Awesome Band on the Planet" by What's Awesome magazine, announced on their website the departure of their Scottish drummer and founding member Jose Julio Ramirez Capucho Fernandez.
Fernandez' skill on the drumkit enabled Toe to produce many of their trademark time signature changing rhythms, and the band even turned to Fernandez for lead vocal duties on their seminal 1996 masterpiece "There was a Bowl on a Hill That I Forgot to Mention".
Although Fernandez isn't officially dead, fans of Toe are said to be planning to carry a coffin of their former favourite to each of Toe's yet to be announced forthcoming European tour, which is likely to take in Fernandez' hometown of Vilnius.
A spokesman for Toe was not available to comment, as they were all still in bed following a hard night's partying and studying cabbages at a barn near Haslemere.
