Three members of Jesus Piece say the band “has been dead for some time”

The current status of Jesus Piece is unclear, as three members have stated that the band “has been dead for some time”.

David Updike, John Distefano and Luis Aponte took to Instagram last night (August 26) to have their say, shortly after frontman Aaron Heard had posted on his stories about the band performing at Phoenix’s One Big Party festival this coming October.

“Jesus Piece has been dead for some time,” announces a post on the official band Instagram, @jesuspiecehc. “A member quit abruptly for personal reasons and we felt wrong continuing without him. Anything you see associated with this name or similar, playing our music and using our art, is not related to anything we worked for over the last 10 years.

“We are proud of everything we did and it changed our lives forever. To try and continue that without us or in spite of us, is a mockery of what we’ve done and tried to do.”

jesuspiece.band.com states that, “There are no upcoming tour dates.” Meanwhile, Aaron’s Instagram bio reads: “Proud papa & vocals for JE$US PIECE.”
