• IQ has picked up a new keyboard player named Neil Durant. Neil has been a big fan of IQ for the past 25 years and is itching to learn the vast IQ back catalogue to celebrate their 30th year of music. Many of you will know Neil from his work with Sphere3 and from the fact that he ran the very first internet mailing list for IQ, 'It All Posts Here' in the early 90's before the world wide web became popular and the IQ website started.
• UPDATE: First Mark Westworth, and now John Jowitt has left IQ. The statement from his Facebook page was brief and gave no real detailed reason for his departure. However he does say that he is looking for a new band. IQ are also looking for a new bassist.
