Scott Wade Leaves Comeback Kid

Posted by Michael on March 11, 2006

Comeback Kid vocalist Scott Wade made the following announcement regarding his decision to leave the band:
"To try and squash any rumors going around I figured I'd write one last "bulletin" to give all you a heads up. First off, thank you all so much for adding us as a friend and giving our band a shot. It's so easy to get all big headed when making music, but the bottom line is, you are nothing without a listener. Thank you all for your loyal support. Never for a second did I take this for granted, and I feel like I am so lucky to have been given this opportunity and chance to travel, literally, the world. Life is full of hard decisions, but only a few of them are as big as this and absolutely life changing. I was faced with one of these decisions. The kind of decision that keeps you up nights, tossing and turning, leaving your stomach in knots. I have decided to leave COMEBACK KID. This band has been my life for the past 4 years, and I was a roadie for another band prior to that. I really don't know, or have anything else in my life. Saying I'm not "scared" about my future would be a complete lie. I just got to a point where being on the road for 10 months had become hard, and pushing to be home more became a conflicting agenda. Some would like to see this band go as far as it possibly can, and I was an anchor holding this back. I just wanted to play something honest, make some friends and see the world and I got to do that, and I am forever grateful for my experiences. I wish the rest of the guys the best of luck in the world. Saying 'Goodbye' the other night was absolutely heartbreaking. These guys are my family, and my life is forever changed, thanks to their talent and friendship. Thank you to everyone who came out, showed me love, and screamed back words once scribbled out in a bedroom. I am forever indebted to you.
