The musician wrote a long heartfelt note, explaining he decided to leave the band and thanking fans and bandmates Shannon and Jared Leto for the memories.

“The years that I have been privileged enough to spend with all of you will live inside of my heart and mind as some of the most amazing memories I’ll ever had,”  the former Thirty Seconds to Mars guitarist shared.

“I want to say thank you to Jared and Shannon for allowing me the privilege to be a small part of their dream and to have been able to share the stage with them for so long,” he continued. “I’ll cherish the moments we had together and I’ll have love in my heard every time I think of those days until I draw my final breath.”

Miličević also addressed the fans directly, asking them not to be sad and angry over his decision.

“This is a good thing and will be good for everyone,” the guitarist wrote. “Remember something very important, this band brought all of us together, me included.”
