It's crazy to think Black Veil Brides formed all the way back in 2006. It's been 12 years since, and it looks like the members of the band are looking to move on with their lives.
Bassist Ashley Purdy appeared on Another FN Podcast and while hyping the band's select dates on Warped Tour, he seemed to imply they would be the band's last:
“We start Thursday at Warped Tour in Pomona, [California] and we are going to do eight dates through the southern California area," he said. "And that is where you are going to see Black Veil Brides for the last time ever in your entire lives. So, you better fucking go, because that's gonna be it." He later added, "You better see us before you don’t see us.”
It seems there might be some dissension with the band and frontman Andy Black. A fan followed up Purdy's reveal asking if Purdy had any solo plans, and he responded:
"To be honest you guys already know that Andy Black is doing his fucking next thing so the rest of us are going to do something separate and easy. Nothing more, nothing less."
Does this mean the rest of Black Veil Brides will go on without Andy?
Update: Shortly after going live, Andy Black offered an official statement to AltPress.com on the situation:
“This is the first I’ve heard of any ‘break up.’ As far as I know, there are no plans to end the band after Warped. Or, at least if there were, I was not made aware of them.
We are in the early stages of work on a big 10 year retrospective release. And my personal focus as it relates to BVB are on that and these upcoming Warped Tour shows.”
