The Devil Wears Prada recently faced a difficult point in their career when keyboardist James Baney reportedly left to pursue other interests. Today, the story continues.

Baney revealed, through a series of Tweets, that “leaving the band was not actually my decision.” Read the statements from James and TDWP by simply looking below.

There is definitely a disconnect in this picture. UTG will bring you more information on the event as it is revealed.

@Mirahtrunks …but to also clarify that I have no intentions necessarily of staying home for future work. Thanks again for all the continued support.

@Mirahtrunks I felt it necessary to deliver her from any prejudice surrounding the departure…

@Mirahtrunks The other members extended their prayers to my wife and I, however, she was not a factor in the process at all.

@Mirahtrunks While I appreciate the support, one thing should be cleared up. Leaving the band was not actually my decision.

This is what the band revealed to their fans when James left:

“With great deliberation and difficulty, we have decided to part ways with our keyboardist James Baney. James will always be family to TDWP, being one of the most well-intentioned people we know. Our prayers to James in beginning a new chapter with his wife back home, and our endless gratitude to TDWP fans for understanding. We’ll see you at a show soon.”
