Kill Your Stereo

Rumours had been circulating that Close Your Eyes vocalist Shane Raymond had left the band, which caused them to drop off their upcoming tour with Comeback Kid, Foundation, Living With Lions and Such Gold, and the band has now confirmed these rumours as being true. The band posted the following statement about the split: "Recently, there have been many rumors and assumptions about us due to our cancellation of the Symptoms & Cures tour. We regret having to cancel but it was something we needed to do for personal reasons. We appreciate the patience and support from all of our fans. Unfortunately, we have to confirm that Shane will be leaving Close Your Eyes. Touring as much as we do with few breaks in between can be difficult on anyone. The fact of the matter is, Shane has had troubles with his voice and vocal performances due to stress and physical strain. Simply put, he can no longer continue being our vocalist. Touring isn't for everybody. Some realize it early on, others later....

We understand and we love him very much, and we’re all still good friends. We wish him all of the luck in the world in his future endeavors. We’ll be performing all of our upcoming shows (Naples show, Orange You Glad Fest, SXSW, Say Anything tour) with our friend Brian on guitar duties. Other than that, we’ve been working hard the past few months writing a new record, which I will tell you more about soon. OK! Sorry for the bum out but it’s all gonna be OKAY."
