Chelsea Grin lead guitarist Michael Stafford has quit the band. The group has recruited Born of Osiris guitarist Jason Richardson to fill in until a permanent replacement is found.
The band commented, “Michael Stafford has recently decided that the hectic touring lifestyle is not for him, and among other personal reasons, has decided to step down as the lead guitar player for Chelsea Grin. This may have been obvious to a lot of you as he hasn’t been with us since the All Stars Tour, but he has given us his final decision recently and we must move forward.”
