In 2021, the band announced that their lead singer had left the band, although he did not officially address the departure.
After breaking up with Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Huey Morgan has finally broken his silence.
The 49-year-old founded the legendary rock band in 1993 with the other members Brian Leiser and Steve Borgovini.
Now Huey has spoken out about his exit, saying the Fun Lovin Criminals “blocked” him online and tried to “take fans by surprise” by keeping his exit a secret.
On X/Twitter, Huey said: “I understand why they blocked me. They’re trying to move quickly Down Under and don’t want you all to know that I’m no longer in the band.”
He told his 35.6k followers that his former bandmates were “sad and scary” and that they were now a “tribute act.”
Huey added: “This is sad and scary. Now it’s just a tribute act…”
In November 2021, Fun Lovin Criminals stated: “Huey has officially confirmed his departure from the band. We wish him all the best in his endeavors.
“We will continue as Fun Lovin’ Criminals because we love and are devoted to our music and our fans. More details to follow.”
Fun Lovin’ Criminals now consists of Leiser (aka Fast) and Frank Benbini.
The band has released six studio albums, the most recent of which was Classic Fantastic in 2010.

A US tour is also reportedly in the works, Rotherham Advertiser and more new songs will be released.
Fast replaced Morgan as lead singer and they added a guitarist, Naim Cortazzi, who performed with them in Sheffield.
