Touring with the band has been an amazing experience that has taken us far beyond our old practice space in my parent's basement to countless countries around the world. I've had the opportunity to see and experience so much and for that I am truly grateful.
I just want to thank all of our fans for making the last 17 years possible. I had a blast.
Thanks again,
Stevo.

What the Fuck! this is not what i wanted to see when i got on the internet! Does anybody know why he left? I can think of 2 possible reasons, no one just ups and leaves a successful band for no reason.
1. there could have been some infighting with the band members and stevo decided t quit which could possibly be the real reason they canceled the rest of the tour and just used derycks back as an excuse. and they decided just to tell us now.
2. he might just want to spend time with his son and cant be touring around the world all the time.
#2 is definitely the best case scenario and leaves room for him to possibly join back at a later time.
but idk guys, this is some serious shit.

Re: Stevo Quit?!?!
Guys, it's Cladam. Yes, I may be 'violating' the rules considering that I'm supposed to be banned- but this is an emergency. So I'm sorry. I won't be an ass.
Guys, this is horrific. At first i wanted to believe that it was an April Fools joke but then I came to realization. THIS MAKES SENSE. Stevo is a FATHER. He clearly wants to settle down and live a different lifestyle- I can't blame the guy! If I was him I probably would've done the same.
I do believe this is a possible end for Sum 41, Even if they do decide to keep making music and playing shows it's never going to be the same.
As for Deryck's and Stevo's friendship- I'm sure this event will have little to no effect on such. As far as I know there have been no hostile feelings towards one another within the band and there seems to be no reason for such. Stevo is leaving because he is a father.
Guys, it is a suprise but ever since the release of SBM this band has been on a burnout. Relentless touring that just lead to Deryck hurting himself. I hate to say this, I really hate to say this, it makes me want to cry- but it's the truth- Sum 41 is dying. And it won't be long.

Re: Stevo Quit?!?!
I'm surprisingly not as devastated as when Dave left. Maybe because I'm older or maybe because I somehow felt it coming, but I'm really accepting what's happened here. I still hope the band continues or Deryck still writes music as Sum 41 because they were heading in a good direction with Screaming Bloody Murder. Even if they don't, they'll leave on a high note.

Guys we have to be objective and look the things in that way. Probably this is the beginning of the end for Sum 41, I don't know but if that were the case, everyone has their side projects, Cone with Operation M.D., Steve with video producer, Tom with GOB and Deryck most likely make a solo project, we must be open to any situation.
And, thought in this song when I read all comments of sadness, is a perfect background music for this moment.
