The band has not yet announced a replacement

Drummer Jeremy Spencer has announced his departure from Five Finger Death Punch after abandoning the group's tour to undergo a second spinal surgery.

Spencer said he can't keep up with the band's pace and that he struggled with the decision for months before announcing it. "I started playing when I was six years old and I feel lucky that my body has given me several decades to do what I love more than anything: playing drums."

“However, the physical strain has led me to a point where I feel I can no longer deliver a performance that brings me satisfaction and joy. I feel the band deserves someone with fire and energy, capable of delivering a performance that the fans deserve.”

There is still no information on who will replace the drummer. For the time being, Five Finger Death Punch is touring with Charlie Engen.
