Surely you’ve heard by now that Every Time I Die and their drummer Ryan “Legs” Leger have parted ways. Legs joined the band in 2009 around the time New Junk Aesthetic was released.
As usual, the band had a sense of humor about it and posted the following:
Legs wanted to personally post a farewell letter but since we obviously changed all of our social network passwords the instant he told us of his decision, this is what he asked us to share…
“After 5 years of heavy touring and recording for Every Time I Die I have decided to call it quits.
I would like to thank everyone for all of their love and support over the years, especially my 4 older brothers who have taken care of me and showed me sides of the world I only dreamed about when I was touring and recording in Canada.
Big thanks to all of their friends and family who took me in when Buffalo became my second home.
This will not be the end of my musical endeavours, but for now I will be making up for a lot of lost time with my family.
I offered Daniel Davison the opportunity to become full-time father to my children and after giving it some thought he decided he’d much rather fill the role as ETID’s drummer.
Best of luck to Daniel, Keith, Jordan, Mitch, Andy ‘Big Man’ Williams and all the die hard ETID fans I’ve had the pleasure of smashing a beer with.
See ya’ll at the Buffalo Xmas shows!!!!”
Ryan ‘Legs’ Leger
Legs has been replaced by Daniel Davison (ex-Norma Jean, ex-Underoath). He’ll join the band on their upcoming spring tour with The Used.
