Last In Line Searches for New Frontman

Last In Line is hunting for a new frontman after Andrew Freeman’s exit, with bassist Phil Soussan hinting at a soon-to-be-announced candidate. Freeman, who spent 13 years with the band, claimed he wrote most of the material and gave up publishing rights for fairness—but felt his contributions were ignored. He defended including Dio classics, saying they helped connect with fans and that some band members actually enjoyed performing them more than originals. Freeman also pushed back against pressure to sound like Ronnie James Dio, wanting to bring his own voice to the songs while navigating the confusing line between the legendary singer and the band’s identity. He cited scheduling issues and blocked opportunities as reasons for leaving, noting the band’s lack of touring had forced him to seek other gigs to make ends meet.
