”I have been beyond blessed to be in FLYLEAF for the past ten years, touring with four amazing men and the FLYLEAF crew, whom I love like my flesh and blood family. They have all given so much.

”You may have also heard that we recently lost our brilliant sound engineer, Rich Caldwell, in a devastating car accident. Now, more than ever, I understand the phrase ’Memento Mori.’ I understand that, for me, living life to the fullest in this season means to step down as the lead singer for FLYLEAF.
”I wish the best to Jared, Pat, Sameer and James and I know that as I continue to pursue the highest heights of what I am created for, it will free them all to pursue that for themselves too. The guys will continue to tour and write music together. I’m so very grateful that they are able to do what they desire and that there is a beautiful and talented, warm-hearted girl like Kristen May to sing for them. Because of this, you will all get a chance to see a new FLYLEAF show and support the new album.
”As I take this first step on a new journey, I pray that each one of you would pursue your highest calling with reckless abandon as well, understanding that sometimes the fullness of life comes in doing things that are only understood by you, God, and the special people God has put in your life that truly love you for you… not for what you do, but for who you are.
