'We Are heartbroken'

Gary Lightbody , from Bangor in Northern Ireland , posted a heartfelt tribute to the two band members:

" We Are heartbroken they have decided to leave us but we wish them nothing but happiness, success, joy, compassion and everything they want in all their future endeavours. "

Lightbody said The Band would continue as a trio: " Nate, JMD and myself will continue with SP and there will be a new album next year but more news of that will come at an appropriate time".

Jonny Quinn had been The Band 's drummer since 1997.

Lightbody said he was " More Than a drummer". With a background in band management and gig promotion he also took up The Role of " manager for us [Snow Patrol ] many times during the Last Quarter century, " He Said .

Lightbody added The Drummer 's nickname was " thunderclap" because he " hit the Snare Drum so hard he was prone to smash right through the drumskin".

Paul Wilson joined The Band in 2005 as the bassist but Lightbody said he " played every instrument so bass was maybe a little restrictive for his many talents".

Lightbody added Wilson was " one of the funniest guys I've ever known".

Paying homage to the two band members Lightbody said they deserved their own separate posts for a " proper and individual send off".
