Nach 20 gemeinsamen Jahren gehen Underoath und Gitarrist James Smith getrennte Wege. Dies lässt James Smith Fans via Social Media wissen – mit einem faden Beigeschmack. In seinem Statement heißt es nämlich, dass er von der Band „darüber informiert wurde“, dass er „kein Teil der Band“ mehr sei.
Hier lest Ihr das ganze Statement:
After 20 years of music and friendship, I was informed that I’m no longer a member of Underoath. This saddens me to say, but unfortunately is where we have ended up. I appreciate everyone who, at any moment in their lives, have felt inspired, accepted, comforted, and energized by the music we created and the shows we performed together. It has been my honor and privilege to be a part of your lives in that way though we may have never met or shared our stories face to face. Your dedicated, grace, and love for this band have allowed us to exist this long. The memories I have from this ride are more than anyone could ever expect in a lifetime, and I genuinely thank you all for being a part of it.James Smith
