Sylosis announced today that guitarist Alex Bailey, who has been in the band since 2008, will step down due to being unable to commit to the band's upcoming tour schedule.
The band released the following statement:
Sadly, we have to announce that our guitarist, Bailey, will be stepping down from the band due to not being able to commit to our upcoming touring schedule. We want to express our gratitude for his years of dedication to Sylosis and the great memories we've shared.Bailey is one of the hardest working, most loyal and amazingly talented band mates we could have ever asked for. You will be missed Bailey! We're excited to welcome our good friend, Ben Thomas, to the band. Please give him a warm welcome!
Bailey shared a statement as well:
After 16 awesome years of riffing around the globe, the time has come for me to step down from Sylosis.
The balancing act of touring with business commitments and a young family is no easy task.
I've forged lifelong friendships, created unforgettable memories, and lived out my childhood dreams.
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported the band and me over the years.
You might catch me for the occasional show appearance, but until then… keep shredding!
