Just weeks after an old member returned.
Story Of The Year guitarist Philip Sneed has alleged he has been dropped from the band, a decision he says "was not mutual or voluntary".
In a statement posted to Instagram today, Sneed confirmed rumours he is no longer a part of the US outfit after Adam Russell rejoined the band this month since leaving in 2014.
"It’s with a broken heart that I confirm that Story Of The Year has decided to move on as a band without me," Sneed's post reads.
"Shortly after performing for two back to back sold out shows I learned, through management, that the band had chosen to do so. To be clear, this was not mutual or voluntary on my part."
