Riot V, the band featuring members of legendary metal pioneers RIOT, has parted ways with singer Todd Michael Hall.

He is being temporarily replaced by Italian musician Valentino Francavilla.

Todd released a statement via his social media account announcing his departure from the band.

"I am stepping down as the lead singer of Riot V," he wrote.

"Being a member of Riot V has made many of my rock & roll dreams come true.

While the opportunity has been life-changing, it has meant that I have not been able to prioritize other aspects of my life." Todd went on to thank Donnie Van Stavern and Mike Flyntz for their support during his time in the band.

He also expressed gratitude to everyone who had supported Riot V over the years.

The band announced earlier this week that Valentino Francavilla would be filling in as lead singer for their 2026 tour dates.

Todd had been with the band since 2013 and released three studio albums with them, including "Unleash The Fire" (2014), "Armor Of Light" (2018) and "Mean Streets" (2024).

He also released two live albums, "Live At Keep It True Festival" (2018) and "Live In Japan" (2019).

In addition to his work with Riot V, Todd independently released several solo albums, including "Letters From India" in 2017, which was a collection of pop songs inspired by his penpal relationship with his wife.

He also went on to compete on the hit NBC television show "The Voice" and worked with Metal Church guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof on several projects.
