It has been announced, both by James Ash on the Official Rogue Traders forum and in several papers today that Natalie Bassingthwaighte will be leaving the Rogue Traders to pursue her solo career.

 

"But this is far from the end for the Rogue's." James writes,

"Rogue Traders has always been a project in transition: Beginning as a DJ duo - transforming into an international pop act. With Phase 2 coming to a close, Phase 3 of Rogue Traders is about to begin, and most literally won't see it coming…"

 

We wish Natalie the best of luck with her future endeavors and look forward to seeing what is instore for Phase 3 of the Rogues.
