Drummer Jeremy Spencer has announced his departure from Five Finger Death Punch. After sitting out the fall leg of the group’s recent co-headlining tour with Breaking Benjamin, Jeremy underwent a second back surgery and will need a significant amount of time to recover; the band fully supports his decision.<\/p>\n
Spencer said in a statement: “It’s with mixed emotion that I share with you the following news: I regret that I’ve decided to step down as the drummer of Five Finger Death Punch. This decision has been weighing on me for months. Now the time has finally come. I’ve been playing drums since I was six years old. After years of the physicality leading to surgeries, I feel it’s best to step down.<\/p>\n
Like you, I will be cheering on the band to continue making great music as they tour the world and bring exciting shows to all our cherished fans.<\/p>\n
“Personally, I have a number of future projects I’m excited about — all of which require that I be physically able to move fluidly and without pain. I hope you’ll continue to be part of the next chapter of my life.<\/p>\n
“I sincerely wish nothing but the very best for my brothers in Death Punch family. And I encourage our fans to continue supporting whoever replaces me.<\/p>\n
“We decided early on to do everything possible to make you fans feel special. As a result, we’ve always had the most supportive and dedicated Knuckleheads. <\/p>\n
I know I speak for everyone when I saw we’re grateful beyond words. Personally, you have made these years the highlight of my life. <\/p>\n
Thank you for helping make this dream a reality. Please know I am eternally grateful. Thank you for everything.”<\/p>\n
