Ill Nino surprised fans last week when guitarist Xander Raymond Charles revealed that he had been dismissed from the band and now the band and Xander have shared a statement to explain the reason they parted ways.
Charles had just been named a permanent member of the group earlier this year and shocked fans last month when he shared the news that they had let him go. The group just shared this explanation, "We would like to clear the air regarding the events of the past week. Following a last-minute lineup change that impacted Xander Raymond Charles' touring schedule, both parties have met to resolve the matter professionally.
"Ill Nino has decided to continue with their current touring lineup, and schedule. This decision was based on a scheduling conflict, and is in no way a reflection of Xander's talent, character, or professionalism. We are moving forward with mutual respect and no hard feelings."
Xander added, "Ill Nino is a legendary band, and I have nothing but the utmost respect for them."
Both parties wish each other nothing but success moving forward.
