Why did Jason Hook exit Five Finger Death Punch? As for us, I’m really excited to keep working with Andy and I just can’t wait for this Covid madness to be over so we can go back out on the road." We even have the same birthday… Some things are just meant to be." Lead vocalist Ivan Moody issued a statement regarding the same saying, "I just congratulated Jason on his recent wedding, and I hope he finds peace and happiness. We instantly clicked both musically and personally so he was the obvious choice. Andy completed our European Tour with us back in February so he was already tried by fire. Someone like Andy James who was already a well-known virtuoso and had the chops to step into Jason’s shoes. Rhythm guitarist Zoltan Bathory's explained Hook's departure as following: "Jason is an incredible guitar player so we had to find someone on the absolute top of their game. It’s time to pass the baton and move on to new challenges." I’ve been in bands my entire life and I feel like I’ve done all the good that I can here. As far the reason I’m leaving…well, there really isn’t just one. Thank you for the endless stories of how our music has touched your heart in some way! But the best part of being on tour the last 12 years, by far, has been playing my guitar and seeing the joy on your faces every night. 5FDP's official Facebook page also posted a statement from Hook which read, "I have had the pleasure of meeting so many of you in person.
