Taking Back Sunday Drummer Mark O'Connell Resigns

Mark O'Connell has announced his departure from Taking Back Sunday after nearly 25 years, citing 'creative differences' and a lack of support from his bandmates during his sobriety journey. In a heartfelt social media post, O'Connell expressed gratitude to fans for their unwavering support and acknowledged that his decision was not entirely his own. He emphasized the importance of focusing on personal growth and family, while also hinting at upcoming solo music projects with collaborations. Despite his exit, he remains thankful for the memories created with the band. Taking Back Sunday is set to perform at the 2000trees Festival later this year, with O'Connell's final contributions noted on their 2023 album '152'.
