Reckless Love going on hiatus and part ways with drummer Hessu Maxx

In what cannot be deemed as surprising, Reckless Love have announced that they are taking a break from touring and recording until further notice given that lead vocalist Olli Herman is now part of the Finnish rockers Popeda. Reckless Love consisting of Herman, guitarist Pepe Reckless and bassist Jalle Verne have also parted ways with drummer Hessu Maxx who was part of all of the band’s five studio albums — Reckless Love (2010), Animal Attraction (2011), Spirit (2013), InVader (2016) and Turborider (2022).

The following message was posted on Reckless Love‘s Facebook page earlier today:

“The Future of Reckless Love

Dear fans and followers,

As many of you already know, Olli joined the legendary Finnish rock group called Popeda at the beginning of the year. This will take 100% of Olli’s concentration and efforts for the time being. Consequently, we are announcing a break from touring and recording until further notice. Our work will continue as soon as the time is right.

We are also announcing that we have parted ways with our drummer Hessu Maxx. Our decision was mutual and formed over a long period of time. We want to emphasize the fact that this was not a rushed decision. There is no hard feelings or drama involved from either side, as we all feel this was a natural developement within the bands internal relations. We want to thank Hessu for his hard work for the band, all the fun we’ve had on the road and all the great things we have achieved together over the years. We wish Hessu all the best for his future endeavours.

We will come back. We always do. Our love for you will never die – because it’s Reckless Love.

yours,

Olli, Jalle and Pepe
