Kansas has announced a replacement for Billy Greer, who is stepping down after nearly 40 years with the band.
Dan McGowan has been named the new co-vocalist and bassist.
McGowan says, "“I am thrilled and honored to be joining KANSAS,” comments McGowan. “I am also deeply aware of the gigantic shoes that I will be filling. Dave Hope and Billy Greer are among the best musicians in rock history. I want the fans to know that I love the music of KANSAS, and I hold it in highest reverence. I am committed to doing justice to the band’s incredible legacy, and I am so grateful for this unbelievable opportunity!”
Dan is no stranger to Kansas fans, as he has been serving as Billy’s substitute on stage for numerous shows during their tour this year.
The full announcement is on the band's social media accounts.
