The band says guitarist Marcos Curiel has left the group, Curiel says he was kicked out...
Founding guitarist Marcos Curiel is no longer with P.O.D.
The band sent out an email to fans today informing them that Curiel was no longer with the group. Curiel is the cousin of singer Sonny Sandoval.
A source close to Curiel says that the guitarist was kicked out of the band.
Sandoval said the following in his email statement:
"Because of your loyalty and respect, it saddens me to say that Marcos is no longer with P.O.D. As some of you may have already heard, Marcos has chosen to pursue his own vision apart from P.O.D. Never have we imagined P.O.D. without him, but we now know this vision is bigger than the four of us. I feel that there are still so many good things in store for those of us who have put our lives on the line for what we believe in."
Curiel will be replaced for now by Living Sacrifice guitarist Jason Truby.
