I was at the Kingston concert, the last show ever for Stevo... Wow. I even talked with Cone after the show and everything looked fine.

In my opinion, if Stevo wanted to spend more time with his family, the band could have taken a break for 6month-1year. With him leaving, means he was done with it. So I don't think his family is the only reason.

This was the first thing I saw when I woke up this morning and I'm heartbroken. Honestly, I don't listen to the Sums as much as I used too but I still love them. I never got to see them live either, and even if I do, it won't be the same.
Again to be honest, whoever replaces Steve won't be the same. Just like when Brownsound left. Steve gave the band so much personality though, like so much enthusiasm and so hilarious. It's just... everything is totally different now.

I was fine when Dave left, but this?

This sucks, and it really bums me out =(

I hope he's just done with touring, and will still record drums for their albums.

I never even got a chance to see them live =/

To be honest, off the stage, Stevo was a frontman for me.. He was the most entertaining member, he talked the most at all the interviews and it was my favourite member. There is no way they will replace him with anyone who would be like him.

If Sum 41 continous playing for a couple of years I think it may be possible that he would come back eventually. I mean. Pat Smear left Foo Fighters, cause he was tired of touring all the year, but after year or two he started to miss it and came back. It would be nice if Stevo did the same thing.

I know it's awesome that Sum 41 does so much of touring, but I would rather if there was less shows if it would mean that Stevo would stay..

But we can only speculate why he left. He's the only one who knows.

Never felt like uploading this, but now it's a must. Stevo at the aftershow party in Zurich last July.

The pics Brown Tom took were posted on Stevo's Instagram.

I think now it's finally sunk in, and I've finally accepted this.

I'm not nearly as sad about the fact that it's over then glad the fact that Stevo 32 solely exists. They say you really don't appreciate things to their complete value until they are gone. This is exactly the case. I fucking love you Stevo, thanks for ALWAYS making me laugh.

It blew me away when I read this the other morning. I knew from the past twelve months that Steve would probably look to settle down eventually and maybe get away from the stop-start touring life of the Sums. I just thought that when the time came that Sum 41 would just cease to exist...THAT'S how integral to the band he is. For me, it won't be the same band at all without Stevo 32.

I remember when Dave left, there seemed to be more of a fuss made about it at the time (even though as time has passed the line up with Tom has solidified and really become a classic iteration of Sum 41 that everyone loves). But I honestly feel that within the Sum 41 set up, unlike Dave - Steve is irreplaceable. Gonna miss everything about the guy if the band go on without him, which it seems is going to be the case.

As for his announcement and the manner of how it's been handled so far, I feel that there's more to it than just needing to get back home. If he were just leaving because of family reasons I think he would have explained that in the posting. However, everything else mentioned so far is just speculation on the part of the band's fans and listeners. I hope whatever the case that Steve can be content and the band goes from strength to strength in the future with renewed and genuine focus.

I'm off to listen to 32 Ways To Die.

This 100% describes how I feel about the whole things...

I really hope he'll at least become the studio drummer for Sum 41, and maybe join the band as a full time member sometime down the road.

Sum 41 may continue to put out good music, but it is going to suck without Stevo =/

I knew with having a kid and everything that Stevo would eventually have to mellow out and take it easy, but I never thought he would actually quit the band. Considering he and Deryck started the band and they're best of friends it just seemed weird. I suppose eventually you have to go your own way for a while.

If someone would leave I knew it would be him, but i thought he would leave back in 2007-2008 sometime. Mostly because he looked so bored in a lot of performances, but what did i knew? I was a 15 year old idiot.

I honestley was devastated when I found out and at first I thought it was a joke a really really mean joke but even though I´m sort of ok with it now I still can´t imagine the band without him, I don´t wanna be pessimistic but I really can´t

I think the most likely person -- and personally I think not a bad choice -- to take Stevo's place would be Dan Chase who did the percussion on "Holy Image of Lies" and "Happiness Machine." Though, he's not really well known, so maybe not?

I listened to Thanks for Nothing today, and just got upset. I guess that's another song we won't hear live.
