Every Time I Die and bassist Josh Newton have apparently gone their separate ways.

Newton, who joined the band in 2007, had the following to say: "Thanks to all the ETID dudes and all who cared. 'twas fun. ch-ch-ch-changes..."

Meanwhile, the remaining band members offered this: "The last 3 weeks have been the most grueling tour we've ever done and we have cherished every second. Rock In Peace, Josh Newton, we love you."
