Stay tuned for more news on that front. And don't worry about the tour, guys.Nothing will be cancelled and we will see you soon."The group's next show is scheduled for 19 May (07) at the Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio.Writing on his internet blog on Saturday (05May07), LeCompt suggests his departure from the group was not pleasant.He says, "Around 3.30pm yesterday I received a call on my cell from Amy. This call wasn't from a friend who appreciated me, but from an enemy who was prepared to hurt me and my family."Without any warning or legitimisations for my future, I was fired for no good reason."

LeCompt and Gray now plan to concentrate their energies on offshoot act Machina.
