Since 2006, Frank Ferrer has been behind the drums for Guns N’ Roses, but now their paths are diverging. After 19 years together, Ferrer is leaving the band.

On Instagram, the band wished him all the best for the future and thanked him for years of friendship:

"Guns N' Roses announce the amicable exit of Frank Ferrer, the longest-serving drummer in their storied run. The band thanks Frank for his friendship, creativity, and sturdy presence over the past 19 years, and they wish him success in the next chapter of his musical journey.

"Frank first joined GNR during a show in June 2006 helping anchor the rhythm section during subsequent tours, including their recent outings featuring the reunited trio of Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan. His last show with the band took place November 5, 2023 in Mexico."

As seen in the comments, many fans are hoping for a comeback from Matt Sorum or Steven Adler, both of whom played drums for the band for several years before the 2000s. But what the future truly holds remains to be seen.
