On Friday, former Bad Wolves frontman Tommy Vext went live on his personal Instagram to announce his departure from Bad Wolves. He cited disagreement politically and musically as the reason for his departure. That video was removed almost immediately. Today, the remaining 4 members of Bad Wolves posted an official statement on Facebook announcing Vext’s departure.
“It is true that Bad Wolves and vocalist Tommy Vext have parted ways. The four of us plan to continue making music and a new album is planned for later this year. Tommy has been a big part of Bad Wolves and we are grateful for his contributions. There is not much else to report at this moment but to send love and gratitude to the fans who have supported Bad Wolves from day one. We would not be here without you.”
