The frontman and keyboardist shared the “heartbreaking” news from the band’s official Instagram account on Tuesday (January 28). “I have recently become aware of revelations around my bandmates and want to share some thoughts directly with all of you,” Lawrence began. “I believe in accountability and doing what’s right.”.
Coin had originally announced earlier this month they were going on tour without drummer Ryan Winnen, who left the group “to focus on some personal matters.”. However, it seems Lawrence has now also parted ways with guitarist Joe Memmel. “Three months ago, I made the decision to move forward without my drummer, and yesterday, I parted ways with my guitarist,” Lawrence continued. “Their behaviors directly conflict with my values, and I am devastated for anyone who has been affected by these actions.”.
“Creating a space for love & joy through music has always been my mission. Discovering that this space has been compromised by the actions of others is truly heartbreaking.”. He added: “Unfortunately, these developments have led me to the decision that COIN can no longer continue as a band.”.
