UPDATE: Alternative Press has just confirmed with a representative of the band that Jona is no longer in Bring Me The Horizon. They also confirmed that his Tumblr post that is being cited was, indeed, a joke that was unearthed and has nothing to do with his departure.
New member Jordan Fish confirms via Twitter there is no replacement as yet for Jona.
Bring Me The Horizon guitarist Jona Weinhofen has left the band. It is thought that he will be returning to Australia to focus more on I Killed The Prom Queen. The group has left a rather short comment regarding the split (source unknown):
“Bring Me The Horizon are Oliver Sykes, Lee Malia, Matthew Kean, Matthew Nicholls and Jordan Fish. Jona Weinhofen is no longer in the band.”
Weinhofen commented on his departure (over a year ago but is being reported as an April Fools joke) giving the following information:
“After a lot of time and thought ive decided to leave my current position as guitarist with Bring Me The Horizon. things in the band have been very tense with a lot of disagreements between myself and certain members who i wont name.
I’m thankful for my time with BMTH and i have met many good friends and been able to travel the world more.
I’m planning on moving back to Australia to pursue other musical ventures.
thanksJona”
