The band was scheduled to hit the road this month in support of the bands latest self title album. The details of the departure are a bit hazy. There was no reason given for the sudden departure. Did he leave Ratt to join Van Halen? The questions abound. 

According to the bands official web site, the remaining members of the band pleaded with Pearcy to keep his commitment to the fans by completing the tour. It was all to no avail. 

So the Ratt Tour 2000 hangs in limbo while the band scrambles to find a vocalist to fill the void in time for the tour. 

If you hold tickets for this tour make sure to check with the venue before heading out to the show.
