John Corabi is officially out of The Dead Daisies, but the circumstances surrounding his departure have left fans with more questions than answers. After recently saying he was told the band would be taking a year off while he promoted his solo album New Day, Corabi was surprised to see Glenn Hughes fronting the band at a recent show. Then came The Dead Daisies' statement suggesting Corabi made the decision to leave. So what really happened? In this video, we break down the timeline, discuss whether Corabi quit or was fired, and talk about why communication within rock bands so often goes off the rails. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
