Gregerson released the following statement (via Lambgoat), "I need to just clear the air since this continues to be awkward for me months after the fact and I just want it to be over with. I am no longer in I See Stars.

"I did not choose to leave, I was asked to leave. Why? I'm not really sure. I guess the rest of the guys felt they needed a change. I felt it was necessary to make this clear because as someone who was with I See Stars since day one I thought the fans deserved to know that I did not turn my back on them and walk away. I had every intention of riding I See Stars out until the day it was done and I think 9 years of being in the band is proof of that. I have no bad blood and don't wish anything bad for those guys.

"We grew up together from a really young age and have been through some of the best times of my life together. They will always be considered my family no matter where they are in life and what the circumstance is.

"As for my future plans, they are up in the air right now. I have been bouncing around the country working for various bands. As of late I have been working exclusively with Metro Station. I have been lucky enough and extremely thankful to have people like Trace Cyrus and Mason Musso step in and kind of look after me as I make this transition. Thank you to everyone who was a fan and supported me while I was in I See Stars! You all will be missed!"

Johnson had the following to say, "Just though I would fill everyone in on what's going on with me and I See Stars. I was let go months ago. I don't know why. I have been writing and plan to put together a new group very soon.
