she apparently posted this last night:

"Couple clarifying points since so many people decided to speculate in the nastiest possible ways.
-Ashok isn’t cheating. While the turmoil of being in the band has taken its toll on us, we remain very much certain that we love each other. Please be kind to my husband. He is a good man.
-We were already planning to leave the band later this year. Certain events have sped that up for me.
At this time there is nothing further I wish to clarify and I’d appreciate keeping the ugly rumors off my page and out of my inbox.
Please enjoy the remaining shows on this tour and give a lot of love to Kelsey, who is one of the greatest singers I’ve ever been privileged to hear. You’ll love her."

"While the turmoil of being in the band has taken its toll on us, we remain very much certain that we love each other."

That looks like the smoking gun there. They still love each other, but the stress of touring was taking a toll on their marriage. So the decision was made to leave for the sake of their marriage. If my wild speculation based off a single sentence turns out to be true, I get it.

Within Temptation did something similar with Sharon and the guitar player (whose name eludes me because Sharon is the band) where touring was tearing them apart so the guitar player left and she stayed so they could stay married. The difference was Within Temptation is their band and without Sharon there is no Within Temptation, so she couldn't leave too.

Being in a band as a married couple sounds horrible ngl. Maybe I'm just a pessimist but I can't imagine mixing your career with your marriage.

There have been a fair few adjustments to the band's personnel most definitely.
