Although they’ve only been around for two years, Pet Conspiracy has carved out a big name in Beijing’s live scene and have a European tour scheduled for November. So the news that front-person Helen Feng may be leaving the band will come as a shock to many.
Sources close to Feng have indicated she will leave the group after the European tour and focus on her other band Free the Birds (formerly known as Ziyo). At this stage it's not clear why she has decided to leave Pet Conspiracy.
Helen’s stage performances have contributed a lot to Pet Conspiracy’s charm and are a major attraction for fans. But she hasn’t performed with the band for months since injuring herself leaping from the stage at the Strawberry Music Festival back in May. Indeed, some of Pet Conspiracy’s recent shows have given the distinct impression that other members of the band are trying to send the message that Pet Conspiracy will not be any different without her. It will be interesting to see if the group can maintain their momentum without Feng on board.
Watch this space for more news as it comes to hand.
