On Saturday, November 7th Tempesta released a statement on social media:
"After 20 years, my chapter with THE CULT has come to an end.
"So many unforgettable shows, experiences, and memories.
"I'm incredibly thankful to every single fan who was there along the way. Your support has meant so much to me.
"I'm looking forward to getting back out there, playing music and seeing where the next chapter takes me. Here's to 2027!
"Wishing the guys all the best!"
In a career spanning more than three decades, Tempesta built a body of work .. and played with many bands .. John performed with WHITE ZOMBIE, ROB ZOMBIE, EXODUS, TESTAMENT, Zakk Wylde's BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, Tony Iommi, HELMET and SCUM OF THE EARTH.
Growing up in the Bronx, John was first inspired to play drums as a child after watching the classic THE BEATLES film "A Hard Day's Night" on TV.
About when he tried out for the Cult initially .. “It was one of those things where everything happened in a week. After securing the audition, I learned all of THE CULT material that I'd need to play and I felt really confident about the audition, because I'd always been a fan of THE CULT. It just clicked, basically."
