EVERY TIME I DIE have broken up.

The news comes a little over a month since the band announced that they would play the last three concerts of their tour without singer Keith Buckley, allegedly due to the fact that the vocalist was taking time off to “rest and prepare” for ETID’s holiday shows.

Buckley would go on to issue a statement soon after via social media accusing his brother, EVERY TIME I DIE guitarist Jordan Buckley, and his other bandmates of planning “to replace me this entire time.”

The two parties then, for a brief moment, seemed to be working things out amongst themselves.

However, yesterday Jordan Buckley (lead guitar), Andy Williams (rhythm guitar), Stephen Micciche (bass) and Clayton “Goose” Holyoak (drums ) issued a statement confirming that they were in fact calling it a day for EVERY TIME I DIE.

The statement reads: “Andy, Jordan, Steve and Goose’s last show with EVERY TIME I DIE was on Dec 11, 2021.

“While we hoped to come to an agreed upon legal statement that outlined the truth, we were informed today of something planned to be released not mutually agreed upon that consists of inaccuracies and controls a narrative to benefit one.

“There has been no direct communication with Keith, because it’s either impossible for direct communication with him solely or we’ve been cut off to any and all communication by him himself.

“EVERY TIME I DIE was these 5 members, and we were never budging or accepting any changes. Simply, there is zero truth about the band continuing on with a new singer. Lastly, we wouldn’t be where we are today without every single person that’s backed the band in any & all ways.

“While we’re extremely disappointed in how this was played out online in front of you, your support and the memories we have because of you all will always be cherished.

“See you soon. Forever grateful,

“Andy, Jordan, Steve & Goose”.

Keith Buckley responded himself by sharing a letter sent to him by a law firm saying that it had been retained by the rest of the band “for legal representation in connection with a separation agreement” between them and Buckley. The letter asks Buckley contact the law firm by December 27 to discuss “the business terms of an amicable separation between the parties”. It also orders Buckley to “immediately cease and desist from making any statements… that defame, disparage or in any way criticize the professional name, prestige, image, reputation, practices, or conduct” of the band. It also requests Buckley “immediately cease and desist all usage of the Band name, logo, or other intellectual property until there is a formal signed separation agreement between the parties.”
