Scott Kelly retired from music

Following a Facebook post confessing to allegations of abuse towards his wife and family, Scott Kelly retired from music and public life in August 2022. According to a statement released by the band’s Facebook page the next day, Kelly had been quietly expelled from the group in late 2019 when his bandmates discovered the extent of his abuse and domestic violence. The band never made any prior formal announcements regarding this “out of respect for [Kelly’s] wife’s direct request for privacy, and to honor the family’s wish not to let their experience become gossip in a music magazine.” In the post, the band condemned Kelly’s abuse and described being filled with “disgust and disappointment” towards “a man who we once called Brother”. During this hiatus, there was no announcement or info on whether or not the band will continue or disband, as “in due course, when it’s appropriate, we will provide more information about our future musical endeavors, but that time is not now.”
