Springsteen’s Former Drummer Sacked From Heavy Metal Band

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN’s one-time drummer has been sacked from his new band.

Jay Weinberg, 20, who briefly replaced his dad Max Weinberg in The Boss’ E Street Band last year (09), has been kicked out off heavy metal act Madball.

A statement from frontman Freddy Cricien reads, “I’m letting Jay go… because I just feel he doesn’t represent this band well on a character level. It would go against my own code of ethics to keep him around.

“(I’m) not saying he’s a bad drummer… but the reality is he has a lot to learn about paying dues, and about life in general… I’m not sure that he’ll ever be built for this particular lifestyle. I wish him the best of luck.”

Cricien plans to replace the drummer for the remainder of Madball’s North American tour and upcoming European tour with Sick of It All.
