Clint Lowery is back with Sevendust.
Lowery was the original guitarist in the band when they formed in 1995 but left in 2003 for "mutually agreed" reasons.After Sevendust, Lowery joined his brother in Dark New Day and was replaced in Sevendust by Snot's Sonny Mayo.
Sonny was sacrificed so that Lowery could come back to the band.
In a statement, drummer Morgan Rose said, "This was extremely tough considering Sonny is our brother and has been amazing to work with. He didn't do anything wrong at all, we just owe it to ourselves and all the folks that grew up with us to put our original band back together. Clint has always been our brother and Sonny will always remain our brother as well. We are sorry to say goodbye to Sonny and I'm sure this will be tough on the fans that follow him, but we're excited about reuniting the original lineup of Sevendust."
Lead singer Lajon Witherspoon added, "Everything happens for a reason. Sonny is an incredible person and we thank him for everything. Just like when you leave home, you come back! Hopefully everyone will understand the decision we have made. God bless you all. Welcome home Clint Lowery."
Sevendust will start their US tour in Port St Lucie, Florida on April 9th.
