Dr. Phil Interviews Alex DeLeon - News Item - SupJustin.com

Aside from the album coming out, you also announced earlier this month that the Cab let go of drummer Alex Johnson.

I’m not going to go into crazy detail, but some people in life make decisions and go down the wrong paths. It happens. It doesn’t mean that it’s the end of the road. But people make bad choices and they start spiraling down a road that other people choose not to go down. And he was having a difficult time with things, and we were completely here, as friends and family. Once things started happening and we started talking to him about things, we realized we needed to be friends first before bandmates, you know? [Besides] him being the drummer, he was one of my best friends, which obviously doesn’t ever make anything easy. But we have full faith that he’s going to get back up on his feet and figure life out. Whether that will be him playing music or doing something else, we love him and we’ll always be here for him.

The Cab are very hardworking, and we are very motivated. We’re not one of those bands who like to party and to screw around on tour. We are very serious. We want this to be our career. We want to be a band that does this for the rest of our lives. We don’t want a “real” job at any point. We take it very seriously. And not that it’s, like, a tight ship, but there are things that aren’t okay. If you want to be successful and if you want to take things seriously, there are certain things that you just don’t do. Our beliefs and our lifestyles, like mine and Marshall’s, are completely different from Alex Johnson’s. Not that there’s anything wrong with it.
