“We have obviously heard rumors over the years and each time something came up we tried to find the source and no one would tell us,” Agee continued. “We asked Tait each time something would come up and he would deny it emphatically. He called a meeting the first week of January and none of us knew that the next day we would be a 4 piece band instead of a 5 piece.”
Agee said that Tait “had always said we would be doing this together until we were 70 years old.”
“That’s the truth and you can believe it or not,” he added. “I hate all of this and think it’s incredibly sad. I’m so sorry for the victims and proud of them having the courage to speak up. More coming soon. Love you all.”
