Florida pop punk veterans New Found Glory just announced on their Facebook page that they have parted ways with their longtime guitarist Steve Klein, due to differences with the band. They wrote:
“To All Our Fans,
It is with heavy hearts that we must let you know that Steve Klein is no longer a part of New Found Glory. We’ve had our differences with Steve over the years that have led us to this decision. We love Steve however personal differences have guided this decision and we no longer feel we can work with him. Rest assured that New Found Glory will still go on! After the Parahoy Cruise we are planning to write a new record and start this new chapter for our band. We have not decided on who will fill Steve’s position however we will let you know our plans as soon as we figure that out. We love you, our fans, so much and appreciate your dedication and loyalty to our band. We hope you stick by us during this difficult time.
We love you,
Chad, Jordan, Cyrus, and Ian”
We’ll keep you posted as more details on the situation come to light. New Found Glory last released a live album entitled Kill It Live on October 8th via Bridge Nine Records.
