Sum 41 want to find “most punk-rock” former member who was “never seen again” after exit
Sum 41‘s Deryck Whibley has shared his hopes of reuniting with the band’s former frontman, Jon Marshall.The Canadian pop-punk band, who recently performed their last ever UK show at Download Festival, was briefly fronted by Marshall, who left the group after only a year in 1997.Whibley, who took over on vocals, recently told the Daily Star that ‘Johnny Libertine’, a track from their latest release, ‘Heaven :x: Hell’, was written with Marshall in mind.“[The song] is a reference to Jon. He was the most punk-rock guy I have ever known,” he said.“We were 16 when we knew him and he was in this delirium, no plan B, we destroyed everything.
