His departure is effective immediately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Varials<\/strong> frontman Travis Tabron has announced his immediate departure from the band, citing that it is no longer good for his mental wellbeing. He has also left the door open to the opportunity for more music from him in the future, and has assured fans that the future of Varials is positive.<\/p>\n

The news was shared in a short statement, posted to Twitter. You can read Travis’ full statement below:<\/p>\n

\u201cHi everyone,<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry to say, but about a week ago I made the decision to step down from being in Varials. Unfortunately it was one of those things where no matter how much I loved what I was doing it was just simply becoming toxic to my mental health and well-being not only on tour, but while at home as well and taking too much of a toll on my overall happiness as a result. However in the last five years I\u2019ve made memories I\u2019ll never forget and friendships that will never break so don\u2019t think for a second I regret any of my time in Varials. Big thank you to all the fans for making my experience with this band so insanely badass, I love you all!!! Big thank yoy to Sean, Mike, Mitch, James. Big thank you to the (new) Fearless Records team. Big thank you to Carl & Brad, and literally every single person that ever supported me in any way\/ shape\/ form during my time in Varials.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is not the end for me musically, and it\u2019s not the end for Varials either! I\u2019m going to be pursuing a lot more different sounds and projects (maybe heavy?) in the future after I can decompress from this situation fully. Varials actually have something dropping today too so stay tuned.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and try not to ask me too many questions because the wound is still pretty fresh for me. I love u guys.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Varials also shared their own statement on Travis’ departure – you can read that below:<\/p>\n

“Hello everyone,<\/em><\/p>\n

An update on the band; Travis has decided to step down from being the vocalist of Varials. This band has become something that was no longer the best thing for him and his health and happiness. Absolutely no hard feelings, and we wish him the absolute best on all future endeavours. We\u2019ve really done some crazy shit together and had some of the best experiences of our lives together. Memories we will never forget until the day we die and it truly wouldn\u2019t have been the same without him.<\/em><\/p>\n

Varials as a band has no means of stopping or slowing down. All current tours and things not announced yet are still happening and we hope to continue to get the support we have until this point.”<\/em><\/p>\n

As a positive resolution to Travis’ deparutre, Varials have also dropped a brand new video for ‘South Of One’, featuring Counterparts<\/strong>‘ Brendan Murphy, which you can watch below:<\/p>\n
