Asking Alexandria founding member Ben Bruce had a top 24 story of January 2024 in our look back in the Year In Rock after he announced that he is leaving the group to focus on family medical situations and wanting to spend time with his children.
Bruce shared via social media, "To my amazing AA family, First and foremost, I want to say thank you to everyone for the years of love and support. It means more to me than you can imagine. I've spent my entire life dedicated to music. It's been my first love since about the age of 2 and the journey I've been on has been absolutely incredible.
"As I've grown older and my life has inevitably changed, I have come to realize how precious time is. The time I have spent with all of you has been the time of my life. But now it's time to dedicate my life to my family.
"On top of family medical situations, leaving my children means missing out on too many important moments in their lives. It's so important for me to be there for them as they grow, and to be there for my family as they need me to be, which means, after a lot of thought, I will be stepping away from Asking Alexandria.
"Thank you to everyone who has come and seen me play live and listened to the songs I've written over the years. The memories will live on in my heart forever. I truly love you all so much for the support you've given me and Asking Alexandria. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Ben"
