The Devil Wears Prada have split with drummer Daniel Williams.
The sticksman has been in the metalcore outfit since it began in 2005. The band announced his departure, adding: “We wish him nothing but the best with everything he does going forward.
“We’re putting the finishing touches on our new album and look forward to releasing new music very soon.”
Williams confirmed the news and apologised to fans for the lack of clarity over the move.
He says: “I’m sure I’ll be getting a lot of questions today – I wish i was able to answer them. Just know that the fans are all that matter to me.
“Remember the good times and shows. And please keep in touch. I love you all.
“As everyone knows, I’ve always loved to engage with fans. Now I can call you all friends instead. Say hi to me on the street in San Diego.”
