Rock Group Chiodos and Lead Singer Split

However, the statement from Chiodos does not elaborate on the reasons behind Owens' ouster. The band's statement only wishes Owens well, and states that they will continue as a viable group.

Earlier this year, in May, Chiodos also parted ways with their original drummer, Derrick Frost. In this case, the announcement came via Chiodos' MySpace page.

It's unclear if Craig Owens' earlier suicide attempt or his manic depression had anything to do with him being kicked out of Chiodos. He attempted suicide in July 2008, after battling manic depression for years.

Craig Owens attempted to overdose on Xanax at that time. His last show with Chiodos was at the Los Angeles stop of the Vans Warped Tour on Aug. 23rd, according to altpress.com.
