Underoath have announced that drummer/vocalist Aaron Gillespie will leave the band following their show at Milan's Alcatraz Club on April 6. "We are taking this opportunity to sadly inform you the six of us have decided at the end of the current European tour, Aaron will no longer be playing in Underoath," reads an statement from the band. "This was not a decision made in haste but a thought out and prayed upon group agreement. For the future, Aaron will be pursuing other musical and ministry endeavours. As for the rest of us, we will continue to work hard on the new Underoath record."In a separate statement posted on his own blog, Gillespie - who will continue to front his side-project The Almost, wrote: "There is no bad blood, there is no anger. I was in that band for 11 years, I love every person with my whole heart, I love the music we made together, the shows we played and the good times we had. People change, times change, and sometimes change just comes hunting for you."
