    Expect this isnt new news for the band. They had a response ready made to post.

    Hoping for a quick announcement that they have things lined up and in the works already

    FF didn't even cross my mind as a landing spot for him, and I think it's very unlikely he goes there for so many reasons. 

    & if PJ didn't have plans to move forward without him, I think this would have been a much different announcement. 

    & yeah..... I'm just sad. It really was the perfect marriage for all parties involved after Soundgarden broke up. I too hope he's healthy.

    Just wow, absoloutely devastating. There is now no way we are ever going to hear Get Right, some chump isn't going to go learn that material with the way sets are going these days. He was such an absoloute beast in all the songs, every jam was different and he'd play so many cool weird grooves and unique fills.

    SG were meant to play at the Sabbath show too but didn't. I assume 'more to follow' means some kind of an SG reprise and he doesn't want to tour with both bands like he did.

    If the Gallagher brothers can make amends and do their thing again, why can’t PJ and Dave A do the same?
    The Gn'R and Robinson brothers reunions hve both lasted far longer than I expected.

    good lord, Dave A. The guy is STILL, to this very day, complaining online about how Ed and the band treated him. And he says openly he hates the band's music now. No chance he'd be invited back at this point.

    Klinghoffer is the obvious choice. Toured with the band for the last few years. I think he filled in Oakland. He knows all the songs.

    I cant see a quick announcement personally.
    I imagine we'll hear rumours when they decide to next get in the studio and record.

    Correct. 

    The path forward is unclear (and all options are on the table), but one thing's for sure: 

    Dave Abbruzzese's time with the band has passed.

    What, he isn't a professoinal drummer. He is the most unobvious choice. He doesn't all the songs, he only knows the first few albums.

    definitely the first person that came to mind for me. He’s played drums for a handful of shows that Matt was out for

    Hard to see them hiring a new full time drummer. Have to think it would be hard at this point to start over with a brand new relationship with a drummer, No?  Maybe they'll just go the Josh Freeze Hired Gun route.
