I'm in that minority too 🤣

Me too. Proudly so.

The first time I left a band I tied myself in knots about how to do it.
 

Ultimately I realised that it’s entirely fair to everyone involved to leave a band that’s not working (ideally giving them a bit of notice if there are gigs booked etc.)

 

But really, it happens all the time and life goes on.

 

If it’s polite that’s ideal, but even if it’s not polite it’s still the right thing to do.

A '👋" text and then block them all 🙂

 

Fired by WhatsApp.

 

I discovered that when I saw I was deleted from the band's  WhatsApp group. The Band leader didn't bother to tell me, but I wasn't surprised as he is a narcissistic a*hole and that's putting it mildly. I have to admit to a certain amount of relief that I didn't have to deal with him anymore!
