In March 2009 Corgan announced on the band’s website that Chamberlin had left the group and would be replaced. Chamberlin subsequently stated that his departure from the band was “a positive move forward for me. I can no longer commit all of my energy into something that I don’t fully possess.” Chamberlin stressed that the split was amicable, commenting, “I am glad [Corgan] has chosen to continue under the name. It is his right.”
