Norway's Puls Music is reporting that TNT frontman Tony Harnell has officially left the band after a 22-year tenure as the group's lead vocalist. Harnell's statement on the matter read as follows:

"It is with a clear mind and a sad heart that I announce my final departure from TNT but I look forward to all the exciting new challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. It's been an amazing 22 years and we have created some great music together for thousands of faithful fans worldwide. The reasons for me leaving are both personal and professional. It is simply time to open a new chapter in my life in a fresh environment. I wish my former colleagues well in all their future endeavors in life and in music.

"To the fans I wish to express my deepest heartfelt gratitude for your many years of love and support and I hope to take some of you with me on my musical journey forward."

SHY vocalist Tony Mills has issued the following statement regaridng his decision to join TNT as the band's new lead singer:

"Having been in discussions with the members of TNT in Norway over the last few weeks, I have decided to take the band up on an offer to front them throughout their forthcoming work in Europe. This may well include co-writing a new album for the band and touring in both Norway and the U.K. later in the year. Obviously, it's all new to everyone and we have to see how we work together, but the initial meeting in Berlin was very amiable and I think you could safely say that we 'hit it off' real well. I have to master THE ANDERSSON MILLS PROJECT and finish up some writing with Eric Ragno / Michael Riesenbeck and the CHINA BLUE project before I depart for Norway mid-June.

"SHY are supporting TNT at the Polar Festival on June 30 in Storsteinnes, Norway. This in itself is an unbelievable coincidence, but my priority was to sing this concert with SHY as I was already contracted to do so before any conversations took place with TNT. This concert for TNT will be fronted by the ex-vocalist Tony Harnell as a farewell show for him. Personally, I play a solo concert on July 1 with Ian Richardson and the members of WINTERSTRAIN in musical support. This show will consist of some SIAM material and some songs from CRUISER. Also, SHY will join me to play some acoustic material as well."
