Jay Weinberg commented: "As an exciting and busy 2026 takes shape, I’d like to thank Suicidal Tendencies for bringing me onboard for an incredible year and a half of shows! What an absolute blast. With Chloe’s & my first child on the way, I’ve been dedicating time to passion projects like Portraits Of An Apparition, a growing series of collaborations, finally building a proper at-home creative space, and some new in-the-works projects that I can’t quite announce just yet. Although there’s a lot of work left to complete over the next five months, it’s been a joy to commit to finally getting these things across their artistic finish lines before my focus naturally shifts to becoming a first-time father.
"Though I won’t be jamming with the fellas, I can’t possibly overstate the love and respect I have for them, the Suicidal Army and extended family, and all the cyco fans I’ve met across six continents playing shows with one of my favorite bands!
"Mike, Dean, Ben, and Tye: you guys picked up a friend when he was down, and gave him the opportunity to truly feel the message of “You Can’t Bring Me Down” at a time when he needed it the most. I can’t thank you enough for that, and I can’t wait to see what you all do next.
"I quite literally can’t conceive of my life as a drummer without the profound influence of Suicidal Tendencies. So many of my drumming heroes have added to the historic legacy of this band, and it’s the honor of a lifetime to contribute to it myself in some way.
"ST for life!"
