Every Time I Die Announce Break-Up Following Spat with Singer Keith Buckley

Every Time I Die has just announced that they will be breaking up.

The news comes after a recent conflict with singer Keith Buckley, who had taken a step back from the band in December of last year to look after his mental health. It was later revealed that Buckley’s break from Every Time I Die was catalyzed by him feeling “ostracized from a band I have built for 20 years” after choosing to be sober and overhearing his brother, Jordan, talking about “replacing” him with a new singer.

Other members of the band, which lasted from 1998-2021, have shared statements on their personal social media pages regarding the split.

Read Every Time I Die’s collective statement below:

“Andy, Jordan, Steve and Goose’s last show with Every Time I Die was on Dec 11, 2021. While we hoped to come to an agreed upon legal statement that outlined the truth, we were informed today of something planned to be released not mutually agreed upon that consists of inaccuracies and controls a narrative to benefit one.

There has been no direct communication with Keith, because it’s either impossible for direct communication with him solely or we’ve been cut off to any and all communication by him himself.

Every Time I Die was these 5 members, and we were never budging or accepting any changes. Simply, there is zero truth about the band continuing on with a new singer. Lastly, we wouldn’t be where we are today without every single person that’s backed the band in any & all ways. While we’re extremely disappointed in how this was played out online in front of you, your support and the memories we have because of you all will always be cherished.

See you soon. Forever grateful,

Andy, Jordan, Steve & Goose”
