Drummer Joshua Eppard (photo) and bassist Mic Todd have both left Coheed and Cambria for personal reasons.\"It started off this summer with Josh [Eppard] giving us a call and saying, \'I can\'t do this tour.\' And, ya know, we couldn\'t really call it a tour if we didn\'t get that call. He would always say he couldn\'t do it. But we would talk about it and he\'d be cool with it. But this time around, it didn\'t work out and he refused to come to Europe.\"
Coheed and Cambria recruited ex-Samiam skinsman MP for their European tour. After their trek guitarist Travis Stever and Claudio Sanchez got them on the phone and talked and tried to figure something out, but Eppard and Todd \"wanted to go in a different direction\".
Currently Josh Eppard has been replaced by Chris Pennie of The Dillinger Escape Plan.
