As I Lay Dying’s Longtime Guitarist Phil Sgrosso Departs Band, Following Three Bandmates’ Exit

As I Lay Dying's longtime guitarist Phil Sgrosso has departed the San Diego metalcore band, just days after three other members announced their exit.

The guitarist took to social media to share a statement detailing why he’s choosing to split from As I Lay Dying, leaving just controversial frontman Tim Lambesis in the lineup. Tim gave the agent $1,000 in cash and instructions on how to kill her, including her photo, address, security-gate code and dates he would be with their children to give him an alibi, prosecutors said. Grosso added that the door to As I Lay Dying isn’t totally shut, and that if the band puts in the “right adjustments and restructuring, our music can continue to thrive and explore new possibilities in a healthier environment.”
