Coheed And Cambria Resmi Berjalan Tanpa Bassis

Band progresif rock, Coheed And Cambria akhirnya memutuskan jika mereka nggak lagi berjalan dengan bassis mereka, Michael Todd. Hal ini kurang lebih dipicu dengan ulah sang bassis yang beberapa waktu lalu ditangkap dan ditetapkan sebagai tersangka oleh pihak kepolisian pada 10 Juli 2011 lalu sebelum melangsungkan aksi panggung pembuka band Soundgarden karena melakukan aksi perampokan bersenjata di sebuah apotik di Attleboro, Massachesetts, Amerika Serikat. Nasib Todd sendiri cukup beruntung. Dirinya akhirnya bebas setelah ditebus dengan uang jaminan kurang lebih $25.000.

Berikut pernyataan resmi dari band atas hubungan mereka dan Todd.

"After a lot of thought, introspection and discussion, Coheed and Cambria will be continuing our journey without bassist Michael Todd. We have spoken to him and this is a mutual decision between both parties. Michael was a great contributor; our hearts go out to his family and to all those who appreciate his talents. We wish him nothing but the very best.
 We are currently writing and recording songs for a new album, as well as a couple compilations this fall. We are very excited about how the songs are shaping up and can’t wait to share them with you.
 We’d like to thank Wes Styles for filling in for the live gigs in the interim, including the upcoming South America and Mexico shows. A belated thanks to Rob Gill for covering in Boston; and the biggest thank you to all of you for your unwavering support.
 A new chapter awaits.
 Love,
 Coheed and Cambria"

Atas putusnya hubungan mereka, Coheed and Cambria kini berjalan bertiga yakni Claudio Sanchez (vocal, gitar, kibor), Travis Stever (gitar) dan Chris Pennie (drum).
