From the Red Lightning myspace page blog entry:

...In our time Red Lightning recorded 16 tracks, played 35 shows across 7 states had airplay on the air and the net. There is 43 other states and a few other continents and countries I would have liked to add to that. Well moving right along.

I've never worked harder for any band in my whole 20 + years of music. I pulled every resource at my disposal & then some to make Red Lightning happen. Alain stated on stage and on many other occasions "There wouldn't be a Red Lightning if it weren't for Johnny" I was honored.

The experience of Recording, playing shows, and getting to know these guys & all of you was an honor beyond words I can write. It was well worth it. Only the future will tell whether the complete album will ever come out. No word on that for you now. As for the reason for our split I can only say that the winds of change have blown against us rather than with us and we could no longer carry on. Milo and I are glad to have been a part of the magic that is Alains music.

Does this mean we can expect more mediocre contributions from Alain to Morrissey. Thank goodness, I thought we might see something new!

Johnny and Red Lightning,

Thank YOU for the GREAT music! The shows were fantastic and I'll always remember the funt times hanging out with you guys before/after the gigs as well- you guys are all CLASS. I am sure we'll be seeing your superb individual talents on stage/T.V./radio/Internet again someday!

Best,

Jay Tando

If there was a band that should have broken up, it would have been Johnny Marr & The Healers.

Nevertheless, I hope Alain continues to write fantastic music and carry on with his own projects.

      With the split of Red Lightning, will Alain return on stage next to Morrissey in the near future?

            Those were some very beautiful songs and the performances were dynamite. You deserve all the success for the hard work you put in on record and on stage. Best of luck and keep rockin'

                  If I'm not mistaken, the "debut" album is already completed.

                  Hopefully it will become available soon. I have bought the E.P. already and it is fantastic. It's ashame that Johnny's project couldn't have been as good as this.

                  Whether or not the band get back together, I'm praying that the eponymous album comes out soon.
