Woe, Is Me Takes Another Blow

Months after the heart breaking news hit Woe, Is Me that they're lead singer Tyler Carter would leave the band, another bomb hit the band and their fans today. This bomb was that keyboardist Ben Ferris, bass guitarist Cory Ferris and unclean vocalist Michael Bohn would be leaving the band. This news came as an absolute shock to many people, including myself. The band has been in the studio every day recording a re-release of their debut album Number[s] and a sophomore album as well but it looks as though their plans will change with this news. Woe, Is Me has had an absolute overhaul in the past six months with Hance Alligood taking over lead vocals when Tyler Carter left and Andrew Paiano taking over the role of lead guitars.
With Bohn gone, what will happen to Woe, Is Me?
There have been no statements released by Bohn and the Ferris brothers as to why they are leaving the band, but Michael Bohn stated on his Twitter that they will be releasing an interview through Alternative Press Magazine very soon. As for Woe, Is Me, they will still be going on their upcoming tour with The Color Morale, blessthefall, Emmure and We Came As Romans with Brian Medley filling in on guitar and Doriano Magliano of That's Outrageous filling in on unclean vocals. The band released a statement on their Facebook saying that they are not breaking up and they are stronger than ever. They also said that they will be adding new members in the near future. In my opinion, Woe, Is Me will never compare to the band they were when they released Number[s] but I will still support them no matter what and I ask the same of you. This is a very unfortunate turn for fans of the band that has already gone through so much in their 3 year career, but they have showed that they can handle diversity, which is what they will have to do if they are going to continue to please their rapidly growing fan base.
