Drummer Mike Portnoy (THE WINERY DOGS, FLYING COLORS, ex-DREAM THEATER, AVENGED SEVENFOLD) has quit ADRENALINE MOB and released the following statement:

"It saddens me to announce that the four upcoming shows in Latin America this month supporting HALESTORM will be my last with Adrenaline Mob. Unfortunately, I have scheduling conflicts that prevent me from being able to fully commit to the band's future activities at the moment. As I cannot be in two places at the same time, I don't want to hold them back and have to wait for my schedule to re-open up to resume activity. I'm very proud of what we started together and the music we made over the past two years and I wish the guys all the best in the future."

No big loss there then! Portnoy needs to focus his efforts towards one major project rather than spreading himself too thin as he has been since leaving DT.
 
*facepalm* Come on Mike... sigh. Good luck to him in the future, but man, that's gotta be rough - wasn't that supposed to be his full-time group?
