The group thanks Pearson for his musical contributions and camaraderie, wishing him well “in music and life.”
“As people grow and change, creative differences can arise and life paths and goals may no longer align,” Dance Gavin Dance continue, noting their excitement for the “new era for the band” that lies ahead.
