As I lay dead, the singer broke the silence after all his bandmates left

Tim Lambesis, lead singer of metalcore band As I Lay Dying, has broken his silence on his band members and left him.

The male singer was arrested in 2013 for plotting to hire an undercover police officer to murder his estranged wife. He eventually pleaded guilty to solicitation of murder and spent two years in prison before being released on parole. He returned to the band and new bandmates joined later, but now he’s on his own again.

Currently the sole member of the band, Lambesis has shared his first public statement since the other band members announced they were leaving. Taking to his Instagram on November 4, he shared a lengthy statement detailing the “unhealthy environment” going on within the band.

“I need some time to process all that has happened recently with AILD. Upon reflection, I certainly agree that there was an unhealthy environment that led to the departure of a new tour with the lineup before that was unrealistic. Even those things have become difficult to figure out.” smallest detail and I admit that I can stand by my vision for AILD’s future even when others think it should go in a different direction,” the statement began.

Lambesis shared that some communication issues led to the band members leaving as well as their support for another band member.

“It saddens me to think about the behaviors, communications and interaction patterns that led to the cancellation of the tour. Phil and I no longer see eye to eye on personal, creative or financial matters. Discussions during this time made him decide to depart first, with each member of the tour deciding to leave shortly after because they did not want to continue without him,” he shared.

Lambesis later added that he still supports the other band members, but the decision to part ways with them is in everyone’s best interest at this time. He also noted that the door is always open for them to participate in the future.

“I fully support each person’s decision to leave and believe that at this time it is best for everyone. With that said, my door will always be open to discuss anything directly Because I believe that closing down communication leads to its own assumptions and problems,” he said.

He then concluded that he will fight alone and the new song called “Through Storms Ahead” will be released on November 15.

Bassist Ryan Neff, guitarist Ken Susi and drummer Nick Pierce, who joined the band in 2022, announced last week that they were leaving the band.

Neff wrote on Instagram: This choice was made after much reflection and I believe it is the right step for my personal and professional journey. I am grateful for the experiences and connections I have made throughout my time with the band.”

“I went into the AILD camp with full knowledge of the history of high drama but with the drive to only play great music with great friends,” Susi wrote in her own post. Unfortunately, my personal morals have recently been tested to the breaking point, and now it’s the saddest ending to what could have been the best second chance for this band. ” Pierce’s post read: “This is not the ending I expected and I feel I need to distance myself from the band in an effort to preserve my personal health and integrity.”

Pierce shared his own post.

“This is not the ending I expected and I feel I need to step away from the band in an effort to preserve my health and personal integrity. I want to express my deepest gratitude to all everyone who has followed and supported me throughout this journey.” My goal has and always will be to create unforgettable memories with friends and write music that truly resonates with my fans. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished in touring and writing and recording drums for the group. new album,” he said before sharing about new opportunities.
