Già ieri avevamo postato il pensiero di Fred, che parlava a nome della band (l’articolo lo trovate subito prima di questo).
Ora anche Wes ha voluto dire la sua, tramite il suo account di Twitter:

We are seriously trying our best to help John and Lethal, but this whole thing was something that should have stayed internal. Lee should not have made this a public affair and you (the fans) should not have ever had to deal with something so personal and damaging. Making this public has caused way more damage than was necessary and now we’re faced with an even harder situation than before. You (our supporters and friends) do not have the information needed to form valid opinions on the situation and we can’t give it to you because you’d have to have lived through it in order to understand. That being said, LB is still a functioning unit and we have no plans to stop moving forward. Our intentions have never been to try and divide our fans. Our only intention has been to move ahead with the parts of the band that can function together. All that being said, we are trying our hardest to make the best out of this situation. – Wes

Traduzione:

“Stiamo seriamente facendo del nostro meglio per aiutare John e Lethal, ma tutta questa storia è qualcosa che deve rimanere tra di noi. Lee non deve farne una questione pubblica e voi (i fans) non avreste mai dovuto avere a che fare con qualcosa di così personale e compromettente. Rendere pubblico questo ha causato un danno molto più grande di quanto fosse necessario e ora siamo di fronte ad una situazione ancora più difficile di prima. Voi (i nostri sostenitori e amici) non avete le informazioni necessarie per formulare opinioni valide sulla situazione e non possiamo darvele, perché dovreste averle vissute per capire. Detto questo, i LB sono ancora un’unità funzionante e non abbiamo intenzione di smettere di andare avanti. Le nostre intenzioni non sono mai state di cercare di dividere i nostri fans. La nostra unica intenzione è stata quella di andare avanti con i componenti della band che possono funzionare insieme. Detto tutto ciò, stiamo facendo del nostro meglio per darvi il meglio da questa situazione. - Wes”

Non rimane molto da dire, solo che adesso tutto è in mano a Lee e John… Speriamo in meglio, soprattutto per loro…

Ok oggi è il primo di aprile, molti vorrebbero sentirsi dire che è uno scherzo, me compreso, ma per ora le notizie ufficiali sono queste…
Su profilo facebook della band è stato postato il motivo dell’allontanamento della band di Lee e John:

“I can honestly say that the spirit of Limp Bizkit is stronger than ever. Not only is the new music being made exciting and polarizing, our focus and determination is at an all time high. I feel that we have barely scratched the surface of reaching our full potential. At the same time, unfortunately, an ongoing internal struggle has become more than an obstacle in our band and more destructive than we can handle, anymore. We have nothing bad, at all, to say about John and Lethal. They are both incredible people, but they are deeply troubled in ways that affect the rest of us in the band in extremely negative ways. It truly saddens us all that it has come to this. Obviously, we’ve been though a lot together over the years and watching them struggle with their addictions and problems has been difficult, to say the least. Granted we all have our problems, but watching them destroy their lives and abuse others has not only become a liability, but a threat we cannot enable any longer. I have finally come to understand that their destructive actions and abusive words stem from issues and problems beyond their control. None of us are perfect by any means, but we feel they really need help apart from Limp Bizkit. I sincerely hope they both get the help and treatment that they need to be well and happy again. I wish them nothing but the best and will always be supportive and open to new beginnings, MOST IMPORTANTLY their return to Limp Bizkit. We hope they look back at this moment and realize, once and for all, that all of us are their biggest fans and we are here to support their recovery, no matter what. All we can hope and ask for from fans and outsiders is to be understanding and unconditionally supportive during such a trying time because this is sensitive for us all. Sincerely.”
