Rex Brown departs Down

Brown was speaking with Patrick Musumeche of 8countnews.com when he confirmed the news: 

"Down's not officially over. I'm just officially out of the band," he said. "Things came to a head and they're better off doing what they're doing. They've got Patrick Bruders playing bass and I kind of lost my passion after a while. There were some other problems that we had to address and it just turned out better that we just parted ways."

Browne was sidelined in 2009 with a bout of acute pancreatitis and chose to stay off the road while sorting out some personal issues. He returned to the fold at the start of 2010.
