Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor (also of Slipknot) has offered an update on guitarist Josh Rand, who recently entered a treatment center for unspecified issues. He told Dalby of the Regina rock radio station 104.9 The Wolf the following:
“We talk to him every day, and he seems to be doing really, really well, so that’s really good. And this is not just somebody who I’ve been in a band with for a while; we’ve been best friends since we were 15 years old — I mean, we go way back. For me, it’s not just the worry of my cohort, my partner, my songwriting guy, my lead guitarist, it’s about worrying about my friend, my brother, somebody who let me sleep on his floor when I was homeless. So, for me, that’s the biggest thing — worrying about him. But he seems to be doing really, really well. And, like I said, we talk every day, he’s letting us know how he’s doing. And we just support him as much as we absolutely can. And when it comes to being a friend, that’s all you really can do — just be there for them. The best way to be a friend is just to stay right where you are and just let somebody lean against you if they need it, and that’s what we’re trying to do.”
