Every Time I Die and bassist part ways

Every Time I Die and bassist Josh Newton have apparently gone their separate ways. Newton, who joined the band in 2007, had the following to say: "Thanks to all the ETID dudes and all who cared. 'twas fun. ch-ch-ch-changes..." Meanwhile, the remaining band members offered this: "The last 3 weeks have been the most grueling tour we've ever done and we have cherished every second. Rock In Peace, Josh Newton, we love you." No further information is available. Update: Every Time I Die frontman Keith Buckley has issued the following: "ETID losing a bass player is hardly news, but for those curious, we will be joined by our original third bass player Steve Micciche on the GWAR tour. Josh Newton has left the road in order to pursue a real human job and we wish him the best of luck. I mean, he is almost 70 years old. Let's get real here."
