The Amity Affliction bassist and vocalist Ahren Stringer left the band’s North American tour in May 2024. Stringer said he was “booted from the tour with no warning,” while The Amity Affliction countered his statement saying the ejection was for Stringer‘s own “mental health and well-being.” The Amity Affliction later noted that Stringer would be “returning to Australia to address his struggle with addiction and get the support he needs.”
Stringer has now provided an update to fans, saying he’ll rejoin The Amity Affliction for their upcoming Australian tour dates and will take a leave of absence in 2025.
“I know you have all been waiting and wondering about the future of the band and how I am doing. First of all, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and kind words of encouragement. I am so proud to share that I am happy, sober, and thriving!
“As for plans with The Amity Affliction. I will definitely be performing at the Big Pineapple Music Festival and on the upcoming Australian tour. However, after these shows, I will be taking some much needed annual leave from the band throughout 2025 to focus on my continued personal growth, considering my future with the band & spending more quality time with the people I love!
“Rest assured, The Amity Affliction has my full support to continue touring during my absence. Jonathan Reeves will be stepping in for me, and I have complete confidence that he will deliver an incredible performance for you all!
“Thank you all so much for your understanding and support.
“I’m looking forward to seeing all of you and giving you the best Amity shows we’ve ever played! Your energy and support mean the world to me, and I can’t wait to share this experience with you!”
