Citing Burnout, Chris Watrin Quits Us5

Another shakeup with the German based boy band Us5, with Chris Watrin leaving the group after suffering from ‘burn-out-syndrome’ and losing a joy for music. Watrin said that he wants to continue with school and go to University in the near future. The move follows Mikel Johnson’s departure from the Lou Pearlman founded boy band last year, who was replaced by Vincent Tomas. At his parents’ demands, Richie Stringini also briefly left the group only to return a few months later. Watch a report from Punkt12 on the news, in German, at YouTube.

    I have to say….I was not very happy when I saw on the news-papper that Chris is Leaving the band! I was very sad! If Richie ever leaves the band…I would really cry! I am very mad at Chris….he didn’t even say goodbye…after everything that I’ve done to the band us5! I was on every concert of US5,I sended letters to them! And now I feel like thay don’t really love or me,or eny other fan! But…..after everything…I will always love you guys,and I will always be there for you,just like I always did! I love you us5!
