Ex-STEEL PANTHER Bassist TRAVIS HALEY (a.k.a. LEXXI FOXX) Hasn’t Talked To His Former Bandmates: ‘There’s Some Sore Spots’
In a new interview with Rocking With Jam Man, ex-STEEL PANTHER bassist Lexxi Foxx (real name: Travis Haley) was asked if he is still on good terms with his former bandmates. He responded: “We haven’t talked. I still talk to the singer [Michael Starr] a little bit; I have in the past. But I think that those scars and I think that the departure, the way that it went down, I think there’s some sore spots. But that’s tough for me to talk about. “That was something that I’m very proud of — to be that character for such a long period of time, and to play with those cats,” he continued. “They’re all amazing musicians.
