Sgrosso Leaves As I Lay Dying
Guitarist Phil Sgrosso has announced he’s leaving As I Lay Dying. His exit follows the departures of bassist/vocalist Ryan Neff, drummer Nick Pierce and guitarist Ken Susi.
The band has already canceled a European tour in advance of their new album due next month. Sgrosso called it a “difficult and serious situation.”
“Recent actions have shown that As I Lay Dying no longer offers a healthy or safe environment for anyone involved — whether creatively, personally, or professionally,” Sgrosso posted on social media. “After witnessing some concerning patterns of behavior, I’ve realized that I can no longer, in good conscience, enable further actions that could negatively affect anyone working within this space.”
Sgrosso closed his post writing, “I also want to share my full support for Ryan, Ken, and Nick, who made the choice to step away recently.”
The band’s only remaining member is vocalist Tim Lambesis.
