I Prevail have parted ways with drummer Lee Runestad and have enlisted Gabe Helguera as their touring drummer going forward. The band commented on the split with the below statement:
“ATTENTION I PREVAIL FAMILY: We have mutually parted ways with our drummer Lee Runestad. We wish him and his family all the best. Life is an unpredictable journey that takes us all down different paths, but the important thing is to value every step along the way.
That said, we are stoked to have our talented brothers Gabe Helguera (drums) and Eli Clark (bass) joining us as touring members going forward.
Things have never been more exciting in the world of I Prevail and we have TONS of awesome stuff coming your way soon. Stay tuned.
See you at Warped Tour this summer.
–Brian, Eric, Steve and Dylan“
Runestad issued a statement of his own as well, it can be read below:
“Hey guys. It was a difficult decision, but I Prevail and I have decided to amicably part ways. I enjoyed my time in the band and wish I Prevail luck in its future endeavors.”
