So yeah, I guess the average comes down to 7 years.

Keeping in touch and seeing each other are two different things in these modern times with internet and mobile phones.

True. That also means Dave wasn't invited/didn't come to any of the weddings though. One of them was in Toronto where he lives.

However, they talked about not keeping in touch with Dave in interviews. Specifically not keeping in touch through phone or online. They also talked about how they had grown distant to Dave while he was in the band and rarely interacted with him when they were not on stage together.

Seems like Deryck and Dave started to communicate with each other again after Deryck was distanced from the other three.

Speaking of keeping in touch, seems like Deryck went to A. Lavigne's concert the other day.

Sometimes a really bad situation can be the start of something good.

This is similar to when Travis was in the plane crash. Finally they started talking together again. I'm not saying that we're gonna see the a Sum 41 "reunion" but just knowing that Dave and Deryck are talking again is making me so happy.

I found an interview where A. Lavigne is talking about Deryck, but that is not why I'm posting it here. What's interesting is the first minute ten seconds when the hosts talk about their experiences with Deryck. They couldn't air the interview, they didn't want to damage...his career. Well, not that anybody really cared anyway. But here it is.

From Sum 41's FB
hello everyone it's great to be writing to you. i feel great with my recovery and it's going very well. my days are quiet full but i work on getting better every day. i have doctor check ups often and i've had so many needle pricks in the past few months, that all the veins in my arms are dead. i do a lot of physical therapy because my legs have gotten very numb from my knees down. i'm only now starting to be able to get up and walk on my own, but it's still very painful. i also have one on one therapy which i love, then i top that off with AA a few times a week. i try to save my weekends for all of my business meetings. the progress may seem slow to some people but i'm getting better all the time and i love being sober. there's lots of writing going on as well and i have a few exciting things for a new record already. i can't wait to get back out there and see you all again.

I didn't know he was physically in such bad shape, but he seems very positive and I really liked this part:
i love being sober

Loving the frequent updates, and the fact that he is sharing the progress with us. It's going to take time to fully recover but it's always good to hear he's on the right path. This post in particular makes me super excited for the future.

This is the reason why Dave is/was my favourite person in the band, just seems like such a genuine dude without any rockstar attitude even though he needs a new haircut.

New update is very interesting. There appears to be a new drummer (anybody recognise him) as well as others? I don't know whether this is the making of a solo album, or drum auditions or what. I'd definitely like to see a solo album (as long as Deryck can improve is bass-writing).
fuck this signature nonsense

New update on his site. I really like that he's updating so frequently now. He really seems to be improving and he's making music again

Well he said he had a jam session. It could be just him and some friends.

I just spoke to Devin Bronson who's been jamming with Deryck. D's got some new stuff he's working on and is excited to start a record, not sure how it will be..solo or sums and it will probably be a while. So yeah, it's playing some Sum tunes but also messing around with new stuff.

That's what I came up with, as well.

Exciting update!

Drummer kind of looks like a discount Travis Barker, haha. I'm glad we're getting these updates so frequently. It gives us something to talk about and look forward to. Deryck seems to look better in each update as well.
