Alkaline-TrioAfter twenty two years together, Derek Grant has announced plans to step down as drummer for Chicago’s Alkaline Trio.

The band announced it online saying:

In light of Derek’s decision to step down as a member of the band, we’d like to send our love and thanks for everything he contributed. It’s impossible to put into words all he’s done, but we are endlessly proud of what we have accomplished with one another.

Beyond the music, we appreciate all our memories – the tours, travelling the world, spending weeks making music in the studio…everything. We love you, Derek, and hope your next chapters will be filled with success and happiness.
