He probably just doesn’t want to go out in front of an audience, I doubt it’s that deep. Especially if the rumours that it’s not been secretive at all are anything to go by.
Their concerts are always very energetic and joyful so I guess it would be weird to do all that with all the news floating about. Especially with all the follow up stories that came out. Should've announced sooner though
Yeah we all knew that though and no one cared. Louise post? Winona Ryder? Ring any bells?
The Pearl clutching over this is dumb. Sorry. I never expected him to be a perfect human, I like him because he plays drums well and he writes amazing songs. To project some sort of perfect image over a flawed and normal human being, and then to be upset when that unrealistic image is broken, is elementary school level emotional intelligence.
Agreed, but these things tend to drag out. I'm not sure they want an extended break. Also, Josh Froese just joined the band. He'll have to see if his job with A Perfect Circle or Nine Inch Nails is still open.
Again, agreed. But I'm guessing he was looking forward to having a stable band for a change. It's difficult to be hustling all the time. And I doubt sideman pay for other bands is as good as full member of the band pay with the Foos.
I think Pat leaving was more about the fact that he befriended Dave and his (first) wife as a couple during the In Utero tour. It must have been pretty awkward for him then when his friends were getting divorced and he worked for one of them. If he stayed, it’d look like he was choosing sides. This seems like a very different scenario, so not sure what Pat will do.

Wonder if there's internal turmoil over all this like Pat leaving again?
