Guitarist John LeCompt and drummer Rocky Gray have left Evanescence under less than friendly terms, but singer Amy Lee vows that the goth-rock band will continue on without them.
"Without any warning or negotiations for my future, I was fired for no good reason," LeCompt wrote in a blog entry on his . "We have not always seen eye to eye on everything, but who does.
"Our common goal was always the same. To make Evanescence the best rock band it could ever be. I have always given blood, sweat and tears to make that happen but apparently that is not enough.
I have now become just another of the people fallen by the wayside on the revolving door of her [Lee's] life."
Evanescence guitarist/songwriter Ben Moody left the band in 2003 and was replaced by Terry Balsamo. Bassist Will Boyd was replaced by Tim McCord last year, and now LeCompt and Gray can count themselves as the latest ex-Evanescence members.
"Amy Lee's management emailed me last night to tell me that, in their view, the contract I signed to record, perform and tour with the group says I'm not allowed to have any free speech in regard to Evanescence," wrote Gray on his on Sunday. "The way they spin it, I'm not even allowed to say I quit the group, I guess.
"But the news is out there, so, there ya' go.
