Peter Baltes (bajo) deja ACCEPTEl bajista y fundador de Accept, Peter Baltes, anunció su salida de la banda con el siguiente comunicado: "A todos los fans de Accept:
Por la presente, anuncio mi salida como bajista de Accept.
He estado con la banda desde el principio. Muchos de vosotros también estuvisteis ahí.
Me gustaría agradeceros a todos los buenos años que compartimos juntos.
Keep it Metal.
Peter".
Breve comunicado de la banda:¡Todos tenemos el corazón roto! Peter necesitaba un cambio en su vida y le deseamos todo lo mejor. Siempre formará parte de la Familia Accept, y para honrar su contribución a la historia de la música, todos debemos desearle lo mejor. Gaby, Wolf, Mark, Uwe y Christopher ...Accept Will Keep It Metal
Comunicado de Wolf:Estuvimos cuatro décadas juntos y pasamos por buenos y malos momentos, recuerdo algunos increíbles en el escenario. Hubo confianza ciega entre nosotros, personal y musicalmente, ¡Eso es muy raro en este negocio!
Mirando hacia atrás, siempre apreciaré los despreocupados primeros años, las innumerables horas que pasamos escribiendo canciones, haciendo tonterías o recorriendo juntos las ciudades de la gira, ¡Simplemente pasándolo bien!
Especialmente en los últimos 10 años, después de que la reactivación de Accept fuera tan divertida y exitosa, pensé que continuaríamos para siempre y navegaríamos hacia la proverbial puesta de sol juntos, tal vez hasta que uno de nosotros cayera muerto en el escenario. Pero supongo que estaba equivocado, no era nuestro destino.
Ver a Peter ahora irse de Accept me entristece enormemente, pero no puedo hacer nada más que desearle lo mejor, esperando que esta sea la decisión correcta para él y que encuentre lo que está buscando...
¡Ciertamente voy a extrañar a mi hermano musical!
Una cosa es cierta, sin embargo:
¡Accept continuará adelante a toda maquina!
Wolf.
El batería Christopher Williams comentó: "Quiero desearle a Peter nada más que lo mejor para el futuro". Peter simplemente necesitaba un cambio en su vida personal. Ha sido una explosión absoluta compartir el escenario con él durante los últimos cuatro años. Es uno de los bajistas de rock and roll más sólidos con los que he tenido el placer de trabajar, y he trabajado con muchos. Una cosa es cierta: ¡Extrañaré a mi amigo! Gracias Peter por los grandes recuerdos y la gran música. ¡Aclamaciones!
Para los fans: estoy seguro de que este es un momento impactante para muchos de vosotros. Como fan de muchas bandas, entiendo que transiciones como estas nunca son fáciles, especialmente con el legado que alguien como Peter tiene con su banda. De un fan a otro, gracias a todos por vuestro continuo apoyo.
¡Amor y mis mejores deseos para todos! Accept y el "Corazón de Metal" seguirá latiendo ".

We spent four decades together and went through thick and thin, ups and downs and I remember some incredible moments on stage. There was a blind understanding between us, personally and musically, that is very rare in this business!
Looking back, I will forever cherish the carefree early years, the countless hours we spent writing songs, goofing around or roaming the cities together on tour - just having a good ol’time!
Especially these last 10 years, after the revival of ACCEPT being so much fun and so successful that I thought we would continue forever and sail into the proverbial sunset together - maybe until one of us would drop dead on stage. But I guess I was wrong, it wasn’t meant to be.
To see Peter leave ACCEPT now saddens me immensely but there’s nothing I can do but to wish him well - hoping that this is the right decision for him and that he will find whatever he is looking for ...
I will certainly miss my musical brother!
One thing is certain, however :
ACCEPT will continue full steam ahead !!

Drummer Christopher Williams says: „I want to wish Peter nothing but the best in his future endeavors. Peter simply needed a change in his personal life. It has been an absolute blast sharing the stage with him over the last four years. He is one of the most solid rock and roll bass players I've had the pleasure of working with, and I've worked with many. One thing is for certain: I will miss my friend! Thank you Peter for the great memories and the great music. Cheers!
To the fans: I'm sure this is a shocking moment for many of you. As a diehard fan of many bands myself, I understand that transitions like these are never easy, especially with the legacy someone like Peter has with their band. From one fan to another, thank you all for your continued support.
