US nu metal band 36 Crazyfists has issued the following update: "After much thought and discussion in the 36CF camp we have decided to break the silence and address some of the concerns that have been posted on our page."

"Firstly, our brother Thomas Noonan has decided to step away from the band. I have played music with T for over 20 years. He is one of my best friends so he will be sorely missed but we understand as we get older (and I mean Older), life takes on new meanings. So with his decision, we wish him a tremendous amount of success in his newest adventures."
