Last week The Devil Wears Prada and keyboardist James Baney parted ways; the band stated that he would “[begin] a new chapter with his wife back home.” This week, however, Baney says that he was fired.

“While I appreciate the support, one thing should be cleared up. Leaving the band was not actually my decision,” Baney said in a series of tweets. “The other members extended their prayers to my wife and I, however, she was not a factor in the process at all. I felt it necessary to deliver her from any prejudice surrounding the departure…but to also clarify that I have no intentions necessarily of staying home for future work. Thanks again for all the continued support.”

The Devil Wears Prada have parted ways with keyboardist James Baney.

The band commented, “James will always be family to TDWP, being one of the most well-intentioned people we know. Our prayers to James in beginning a new chapter with his wife back home, and our endless gratitude to TDWP fans for understanding.”
