Primus drummer Tim Alexander quits band citing lost passion for playing

Tim “Herb” Alexander has unexpectedly quit as the drummer for the band Primus. The band announced his departure on October 17, stating it was a complete shock and that he expressed he had "lost his passion for playing." This was Alexander's third time with Primus, having first joined in 1989. The band is now considering changes, including potentially canceling their upcoming New Year’s show, but plans to perform with other musicians for a special event. Danny Carey from Tool will fill in as the drummer for an upcoming performance in the Dominican Republic. The band respects Alexander's decision but faces challenges moving forward.
