Just to throw my thoughts into the mix. One of my all time favorite bands alongside Linkin Park is the swedish metal band In Flames, a band that I have seen live over 10 times (I lost count somewhere aroud 11-12 concerts) They've been around since the 90s and I became a fan around 2006 in my ealy teenage years. Since then the band has changed it's line up A LOT of times, now being at the stage where no one from the first release (Lunar Strain) is actually still in the band, and only two members of the considered "classic In Flames"-line up remains - the vocalist and lead guitarist, who are still the main songwriters of the group. With that said, the last time I saw them live, in 2022, was one of the absolute best In Flames concert I have ever been to. I can't remember last time the band was so tight. And on top of that, last year they released one of the best albums of their entire career (Foregone).
Did it hurt a bit everytime someone left the band? Of course it did. But over time I got over it. I keep focusing on the importance of the members in a band WANTING to be in the band. While it is natural to want your heroes to remain in a band, you don't want your heroes to stay in a band not giving 100% anymore.
My point is: Yes, it sucks that Rob is no longer in the band, and it's sad that Brad won't be playing live concerts. But i'm sure we will get over it. We will accept it. And I think in the long run it is probably for the best. If I can get over In Flames changing band members more often than I change my socks (kidding), I can move forward without Rob on the drums and brad on stage.
The future of the band is brighter than it's been in a very long time. Let's stay positive and wish Rob and Brad the best
