This just came across my inbox and is definitely sad. Howard Jones was an incredible addition to Killswitch Engage nine years ago and will be sorely missed. Let the “bring back Jesse Leach” rumors/campaign begin. Check out the press release for more:

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE PART WAYS WITH SINGER HOWARD JONES

BAND STATEMENT ON THE MATTER IS AS FOLLOWS

“To our family, friends and fans: We have decided to continue on without Howard Jones as the singer of Killswitch Engage.  We love Howard and are thankful for the nine years that we’ve had him in the band.  Out of respect for everyone involved we will not be discussing the specific reasons behind this decision. Howard is a part of our family and always will be, and we wish him well. He has left big shoes to fill, so we certainly have our work cut out for us to find the next singer of Killswitch, something we plan on making priority #1 going forward.  Most importantly, thanks to all of you for all the support throughout the years and for sticking by us for all this time.  We really do appreciate it and we very much look forward to having a new record for all of you in the not too distant future that we can all be proud of.  Sincerely, Adam, Joel, Mike & Justin.”

    Howard I know how tough it is! I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes myself following years of it being left unchecked. I fell into a coma for a week. When I awoke the doctors told me I had to do 4 injections a day for the rest of my life. Hit like a sledgehammer. It is a long road back to being healthy again but it IS possible. Good luck my friend. John
