Dancepunk fansite Dance In My Blood has received a statement from now former Head Automatica member Larry Gorman. Gorman has apparently been given the boot from the band, as explained below:

First of all I just want to thank everyone for their support. I would just like to make it clear to you all that in no way did I leave this band. I was told by Daryl through management not to come back. This is due mostly to the fact that the relationship between Daryl and I has slowly been deteriorating over the last couple of years. We simply have lost faith in each other. These things happen and with Daryl it seems to be more often than not. I wish things could have ended differently being that I stood by his side for so many years in and out of hospitals on tour but I guess I just couldnt handle it emotionally anymore. That much I am guilty of. With that being said, once again I would like to thank everyone for their support and words of kindness. Please know that I am fine and it is time for me to move on and put this all behind me.

No word from the band on this departure at the moment. Head Automatica released Popaganda earlier this year.
