"'Gel is no longer a band, and therefore will not be playing any of our currently scheduled upcoming shows," they kicked off their statement.
It continued: "The reason is pretty simple at its core; the former guitar player, Anthony Webster, has committed such heinous acts in trying to forward himself in his musical career that he’s done irreparable damage to the band in the process, and it’s affected us as human beings more than we can even attempt to explain, to the point of being completely unable to do the band anymore."

The statement continued: "... We'd like to send our most sincere and deepest apologies to anyone who this is affecting on a personal level and beyond... take care of each other and love your friends."

The band was first started in 2013 with Webster, and original members, Sami Kaiser, Matthew Bobko, Madison Nave, Alex Salter. They released one studio album, Only Constant, in 2023.
In August 2024, Webster admitted how much he struggled with touring and balancing his personal life.
He told No Echo: "After a while it started to get really rough. We took some time off that almost immediately made the itch come back, and that turned to an even longer time off due to stuff outside of our control. But we were able to finish writing and recording the new EP in that time."
"Now we’re getting back into the swing of touring full time feeling more excited than ever," he added at the time.
"It’s not easy, but whether you’re playing to 10 people or 1000, it’s the most rewarding thing in the world. Not touring was never even an option for us."
