Andrew Baird has exited Fallujah. The drummer is leaving the group “to make a course adjustment that [his] heart has been really needing.”

Baird commented:

“It’s with very heavy heart, that I have decided to step down as drummer of Fallujah.

This was a decision that I didn’t make lightly, and a lot of thought was put into this for quite awhile now.

We’ve done a whole lot together, and they were there for me when I was going through some of the toughest moments of my life. The band has shaped me in so many ways, that I can’t even begin to write down all of them in this post. And I’m very privileged and grateful for the opportunities to take our talent and music around the world for everyone to enjoy.

Don’t worry, I love the hell out of those boys, I’m not done being a musician, and I’m definitely not done tearing shit up.

But right now I need to make a course adjustment that my heart has been really needing.

I know this isn’t easy to read, or to understand. I’m doing what I feel is best, and I thank you for your immeasurable support. I’m still here and this isn’t the last.

Love ya 💙”
