According to a Facebook status put up on Saturday, it seems that only 2/5 of the actual members of Relient K will be on the road as the band heads out on their headlining tour with William Beckett, Mike Mains & The Branches, and Hellogoodbye that starts in a matter of days.

The band cites no reason for why John Warne, Jon Schneck, Ethan Luck won’t  be touring, however, the three do hint that they will not be on the road for the rest of this year as well in the following statement.

As far as replacements go, none have been announced, but the band has had artists like Zac Farro lend a hand in the past, so fans can rest assured that the quintet will likely have live band members instead of backing tracks.

Follow the jump to read the band’s statement in its entirety, along with their tour dates.

To all the amazing fans of RK:

It is with sadness that we write you to say that we will not be touring with Relient K on the upcoming tour dates. This will be the first tour that the Jo(h)n’s have missed in over eight years, and the first that Ethan has missed since he joined the band in 2008. We will miss seeing you all on the road this year, and we want to thank you for always being there for us. Hope to see you soon.

John Warne, Jon Schneck, Ethan Luck.
