Внезапная грустная новость. Мэтт Мэлли сегодня покинул группу. Соответственно на завтрашней церемонии "Оскар" Counting Crows будут выступать без него. В связи с этим меняются и планы относительно нового альбома. На данный момент больше новостей нет, надеюсь в скором времени ситуация прояснится, также как и причина ухода Мэтта из команды. Вот оригинальное сообщение от Адама:
"I just wanted to tell everyone that Matt has left the band. After fifteen years together, he's leaving to do his own thing. I know you'll all be tempted to try and put a bad face on this. Please don't. We've all been friends for a really long time. This stuff just happens. We love Matt and we hope the rest of his artistic life is as amazing as the fifteen years we spent together.
