As I Lay Dying bassist Josh Gilbert quits band

Longtime As I Lay Dying bass player Josh Gilbert has announced his departure from the band. Gilbert had the following to say about his exit:

"After 15 years (almost half my life), I've decided to part ways with As I Lay Dying. Despite the ups and downs inherent, I'll always be grateful for the profound privilege of being able to grow up traveling the world playing music with the band."None of that would be possible without the fans of the band, so for that I sincerely thank you all so much for allowing me the opportunity. I wish the best for AILD moving forward, and I hope to see all of you sooner rather than later."

Miss May I bassist Ryan Neff will fill in for As I Lay Dying on their upcoming tours.
