The Devil Wears Prada drummer Daniel Williams is no longer a member of the band. The group revealed the news in a statement on their Facebook page.

“With respect, we would like to let our fans know that Daniel is no longer in The Devil Wears Prada. We wish him nothing but the best with everything he does going forward.”

Williams took to his personal Twitter account to share his statement, saying, “I’m sure i’ll be getting a lot of questions today—I wish I was able to answer them.”

He added, “Just know that the fans are all that matter to me. Remember the good times and shows. And please keep in touch. I love you all. Cheers.”

As everyone knows – I’ve always loved to engage with fans. Now I can call you all friends instead. Say hi to me on the street in San Diego.

Joey Sturgis, who has produced multiple efforts for the Devil Wears Prada, sent some good vibes to Williams as well.
