I can't put my finger on it, but something about this just feels wrong, and I can't explain it.
Here's the announcement, anyway, just in case it gets removed from the official site.
"LAST WEEK A LETTER FROM PETER GREEN'S LEGAL GUARDIANS, THE PUBLIC GUARDIANSHIP OFFICE, AND APPARENTLY SIGNED BY PETER GREEN, WAS SENT TO THE OTHER FOUR MEMBERS OF SPLINTER GROUP, TRANSMEDIA742.NET, AND LPO, THE BAND'S EUROPEAN AGENT. THE LETTER ANNOUNCED PETER'S INTENTION TO RESIGN FROM SPLINTER GROUP WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT. AS ALL OF THE BAND MEMBERS HAD, OF COURSE, BEEN ON TOUR WITH PETER SINCE OCTOBER 22ND, TO SAY THAT THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CAME TOTALLY OUT OF THE BLUE IS A HUGE UNDERSTATEMENT, ESPECIALLY AS HE HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE AMERICAN TOUR AND RECORDING PROJECT WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM. THE CONFUSION OVER THE SITUATION WAS FURTHER COMPOUNDED WHEN IT BECAME CLEAR THAT PETER WAS NOT AT HOME ( HE STILL HASN'T BEEN CONTACTED ) AND THAT THE PUBLIC GUARDIANSHIP OFFICE WERE NOT PREPARED TO DISCLOSE HIS WHEREABOUTS. ENQUIRIES TO THE P.G.O CONFIRMED THAT PETER WOULD NOT BE TAKING PART IN THE AMERICAN TOUR WHICH WAS SCHEDULED TO START ON JANUARY 21ST, AND THAT THE TOUR WOULD THUS HAVE TO BE CANCELLED. THE FATE OF FUTURE PROJECTS SUCH AS THE "BLUES DON'T CHANGE 2" CD AND THE PROPOSED UK / EUROPEAN TOUR FOR APRIL / MAY 2004 IS STILL UNCLEAR."
