Close Your Eyes lose vocalist

2012-03-02 by Devastator | 27 Comments
Close your Eyes have confirmed that vocalist Shane Raymond is no longer a member of the band, the band has issued a statement below:

"Recently, there have been many rumors and assumptions about us due to our cancellation of the Symptoms & Cures tour. We regret having to cancel but it was something we needed to do for personal reasons. We appreciate the patience and support from all of our fans.

Unfortunately, we have to confirm that Shane will be leaving Close Your Eyes. Touring as much as we do with few breaks in between can be difficult on anyone. The fact of the matter is, Shane has had troubles with his voice and vocal performances due to stress and physical strain. Simply put, he can no longer continue being our vocalist."

Yeah, the band is pretty much done. Never properly listened to these guys, but the few songs I did listen to, he was the definite highlight. Sucks.

This legit saddens me. At least they have 2 really solid albums to go back to because nothing they make from here on out will be as good without Shane.

According to CYE's statement he had issues with his voice while touring. I most recently saw them on their headliner tour with Counterparts and I thought he sounded great as always.

So glad I got to see them before this happened.
But this sucks really bad, they should honestly just call it quits now.

maybe their lyrics will stop sucking. probably not. i really can't get into them because of how awful their lyrics are, though.

loved this band, seen them several times, spent some time with Shane last year at cornerstone. One of my favorite frontmen ...I'd rather the band break up but who knows...
