Alex Kendrick, tour manager for Grammy-nominated metalcore pioneers, As I Lay Dying, has revealed that he "no longer" works for the band, with some of the group's European dates being canceled.

Loudwire's Joe DiVita reports: Just days after bassist/clean vocalist Ryan Neff abruptly left As I Lay Dying, the band's tour manager Alex Kendrick has informed fans that he no longer works for the metalcore veterans. Additionally, some venues in Europe are now showing that tour dates have begun being canceled.

Kendrick shared a statement on X early yesterday morning (Oct. 22), which reads: "I no longer work for AS I LAY DYING - I do not wish to be asked questions nor will I answer any. I’ve made life long memories that will never be forgotten but my chapter of the book has completed. I wish everyone the best of luck and clearly I’m still rocking with Phil out here."
