The band posted a message regarding their split with guitarist, Justin Shekoski after he posted that he was going to hang himself during one of their concerts and threatened his bandmates, according to TMZ. Shekoski worked on The Used’s latest release, The Canyons, and Live and Acoustic at the Palace. He was fired a couple months back over artistic differences, but documents obtained by TMZ elaborate on more specific issues regarding the split.
