FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH - Drummer Jeremy Spencer Quits Band

Five Finger Death Punch drummer Jeremy Spencer have released a statemnet that he quits the band. Read the statement below!


It’s with mixed emotion that I share with you the following news: I regret that I’ve decided to step down as the drummer of Five Finger Death Punch. This decision has been weighing on me for months; now the time has finally come. I’ve been playing drums since I was six years old. After years of the physicality leading to surgeries, I feel it’s best to step down.

As with professional athletes, when the body and mental state don’t achieve the standard required to meet the rigorous demands necessary to perform at a high level, the choice is clear. I feel fortunate that my body has provided me with several decades of doing what I love most: playing double-bass and shredding drums. However, the rigorous physical wear and tear has worn down my body to the point where I feel I can no longer deliver a performance you great fans deserve and one that brings me satisfaction and joy.
In addition, I feel the band deserves to get someone with fresh fire and energy—capable of delivering Death Punch music the way fans deserve. I’m confident they will! Like you, I will be cheering on the band to continue making great music as they tour the world and bring exciting shows to all our cherished fans.


Personally, I have a number of future projects I’m excited about—all of which require that I be physically able to move fluidly and without pain. I hope you’ll continue to be part of the next chapter of my life.
I sincerely wish nothing but the very best for my brothers in the Death Punch Family. And, I encourage our fans to continue supporting whoever replaces me. We decided early on to do everything possible to make you fans feel special. As a result, we’ve always had the most supportive and dedicated Knuckleheads. I know I speak for everyone when I say we’re grateful beyond words.
Personally, you have made these years the highlight of my life. Thank you for helping make this dream a reality. Please know I am eternally grateful. Thank you for everything.
