【NEWS】I See Starsがメンバーの脱退を発表

Tweet

ミシガン,ウォーレン出身エレクトロコアバンドI See Starsが現在のラインナップについてコメントをInstagramで発表しました。コメントでは「最新ツアーの発表でメンバーが6人ではなく4人になっているから気づいている人もいるかもしれないけど」と前置きして、今年6月、5thアルバムの制作を始める前にギタリストJimmy Gregerson、スクリーマー／キーボーディストZach Johnsonの2人にバンドを辞めてもらったことを明かしています。以下コメント全文をチェック。

バンドはサポートにChunk! No, Captain Chunk!, Get Scared, Palaye Royale, The White Noiseを迎えてUSヘッドライニングツアーを来年2月に行います。

Some of you may have noticed in our recent tour announcement that the band is shown with 4 members, and not 6. Back in June, we parted ways with Zach Johnson and Jimmy Gregerson before beginning the writing of our 5th studio album. Sometimes without warning people take different paths in life, and someone in the situation has to know when it's for the better to move on amicably. We wish Zach and Jimmy the best in all their endeavors. We are proud of the years spent together. Though this all may come as a shock, we've never been more excited to take the next step. Here's to a new chapter. – ISS

I need to just clear the air since this continues to be awkward for me months after the fact and I just want it to be over with. I am no longer in I See Stars. I did not choose to leave, I was asked to leave. Why? I'm not really sure. I guess the rest of the guys felt they needed a change. I felt it was necessary to make this clear because as someone who was with I See Stars since day one I thought the fans deserved to know that I did not turn my back on them and walk away. I had every intention of riding I see stars out until the day it was done and I think 9 years of being in the band is proof of that. I have no bad blood and don't wish anything bad for those guys. We grew up together from a really young age and have been through some of the best times of my life together. they will always be considered my family no matter where they are in life and what the circumstance is. As for my future plans, they are up in the air right now. I have been bouncing around the country working for various bands. as of late i have been working exclusively with @metrostation. I have been lucky enough and extremely thankful to have people like @tracecyrus and @themasonmusso step in and kind of look after me as I make this transition. Thank you to everyone who was a fan and supported me while I was in I See Stars! You all will be missed! ❤❤❤ happy holidays!
