Swedish sleaze rockers Vains Of Jenna are to split.

Rumours of a split began circulating earlier this week when vocalist Jesse Forte was named by guitar wizard George Lynch as the new frontman for his band, Lynch Mob. Forte joins Lynch, drummer Scott Coogan and bassist Robbie Crane in the band.

The official statement from Vains Of Jenna reads:

"After 7 years, we have amicably and mutually decided to end Vains Of Jenna.

There's no drama behind the decision. We simply feel like it is time to move on in our lives and close this chapter. It has been a truly amazing journey for us over the years and we are greatful for the opportunity to do what we've done with this band.

A huge thanks to everyone involved, all of our supporters, and of course all of our fans from around the world. We love you.

1,2,3,4 THE END!!!

Nicki, Jacki, JP and Jesse"
