Snot are down an original member with rhythm guitarist Sonny Mayo stepping down from the band. The returning nü-metal band’s lead guitarist Mikey Doling issued the below video statement on the matter this afternoon, in which he stated:
“Sonny Mayo has decided to quit Snot. Snot doesn’t fit into his life right now, and he just wants to focus on himself and his life, and Snot‘s just too busy for him to be able to continue. So I’d like to wish Sonny Mayo the best of luck in his future. And I want to thank him for all he’s contributed to Snot over the years. We love you brother.”
God Forbid/ex-Bad Wolves guitarist Doc Coyle has signed on to fill-in the spot vacated by Mayo at Snot‘s upcoming live commitments. His addition to the band apparently came about upon being suggested for the role by Mayo himself.
