UPDATE: DevilDriver announces return of original bassist Jon Miller

Former Static-X guitarist Diego "Ashes" Ibarra is now former DevilDriver bassist after his announcement that he's leaving the band this past Friday.

Ibarra announced his departure by saying:

"Hey everyone I just wanted to let you know I have officially parted ways with Devildriver it was an honor to play with some of the most talented musicians thus far in my career. I wish Devildriver the best and look forward to what the future holds and new musical chapters"

Ibarra replaced former Bury Your Dead guitarist Chris Towning in 2016 and featured on two DevilDriver albums, Outlaws' Til the End, Vol. I and Dealing with Demons, Volume I. It's unclear who will replace Ibarra, as the band has not yet responded publicly.
