(new here but have been reading this forum for a while)
NOOOO ugh. i love this band. i’ve kept an open mind about everything. fully expected a new singer and was onboard. fully expected them to keep the name and supported it.
i was definitely delusional about rob coming back but i understand it. but being at the LPU show and seeing 3 new faces on stage was a LOT to process in the moment. i was relieved to later hear Brad was just not there that night.
but him not coming back to tour at all sucks. it just visually doesn’t look like the band i expected back. i got tickets to the nyc show expecting the 4 of them then this announcement comes out :(( given that the comments section on IG are just going on and on about Emily I suppose this isn’t a huge deal to the majority but mann I love Brad and his big hair and headphones 😭
