Shirley had left the band on February 21, 2022, according to the band's secretary. "Friends, there is no straightforward way to say this," the band wrote in an e-mail. Drew and the band have chosen different paths in the middle of years of broadcasting, and they will no longer be playing together. He joined us shortly after the album's debut and we've shared an incredible journey with countless highs and lows mixed. We love Drew and are so grateful for the time and memories we've shared. It has certainly been a difficult season for us, with challenges that have ultimately brought us in new directions. We've always believed that our friendships are more important than the band. And it's still true: Our love for each other is so much bigger than rock and roll. We're curious to see what Drew's next chapter holds for him, as well as Switchfoot. We are beyond grateful for your friendship, each other, and the journey we all shared together during this challenging period. Hope is more popular now than ever before, and it deserves an anthem."
