He is not leaving. He is stepping down (taking a break) to address this situation. That's how I interpret it. But Rhea is actually leaving - she just posted an update.

I'm gutted that it looks to be going pear shaped for this band. So much great potential going to waste.

To be honest her statement is weird at best. She is leaving 'cos they got a replacement for her. BUT I actually spoke with Thomas about her and he said that she is having a health problems and she play whenever she can - like on a british tour. They don't want to force her - they will gave her the time she need. It was prettty obvious that they will play with a fill-in guitarist, and wait for Rhea's return. And she wrote on her statement that she was suprised

As for a bassist - Hewson is a band leader. He wrote the lyrics and he always had a last word on compositions. I don't believe he can be replaced.
