Cologne (dpa) - The Cologne band Höhner (“Viva Colonia”) and their guitarist Joost Vergoossen go their separate ways.

The musician had published an "attitude" on the global corona pandemic in several postings on his social media platforms that did not correspond to the convictions of the other members, the band wrote on their Facebook page.

Numerous discussions about Covid-19 measures with the guitarist were "inconclusive".

The "Express" had previously reported on it.

A detailed statement could be read on Vergoossen's unverified Facebook page.

It stated that he had not been able to adequately defend his point of view.

"I am also not a corona denier or someone who wants to close the borders to refugees!"
