Four of the five members of Every Time I Die have announced that they have left the band. This comes several weeks after frontman Keith Buckley separately announced that he was taking a hiatus from the outfit and also claimed that his bandmates had been working behind his back to replace him.In a joint statement last night, guitarists Jordan Buckley (brother of Keith) and Andy Williams, bassist Stephen Micciche and drummer Clayton Holyoak said that they had all now left the band.They added that they had hoped to release a statement that came from all five members of Every Time I Die which “outlined the truth”, but had decided to issue this statement without Keith Buckley because “we were informed … of something planned to be released [but] not mutually agreed upon that consists of inaccuracies and controls a narrative to the benefit of one”.There was “no direct communication” with Keith Buckley prior to making this announcement, they confirmed, “because it’s either impossible for direct communication with him solely or we’ve been cut off to any and all communication by him himself”.Insisting that “there is zero truth about the band continuing on with a new singer”, the four band members added that they are “extremely disappointed in how this was played out online in front of” their fans.Keith Buckley responded to this statement by posting a scan of a legal letter from his now former bandmates dated 20 Dec 2021, which states that his brother, Williams, Micciche and Holyoak are seeking to reach an agreement separating them from him, while also ordering him to cease and desist making negative statements about them.The implosion of the band follows a tense few weeks for Every Time I Die fans.
