Now, White says the band will move forward at Squire's request. "It's certainly going to be hard without him, but he called me and asked me to keep everything going regardless of what happens," White tells Billboard.

"So absolutely we're moving ahead. I'm gonna do it for him. The fans are behind the band and want the band to keep moving forward here. It doesn't seem like anybody's kind of given up on the band, which is really encouraging and it'll help us move things forward.
