ONE OK ROCK to return in summer, minus ALEX

[gensan]

The band ONE OK ROCK has announced on its official website that guitarist ALEX has left the group, and the remaining four members will resume activities this summer.

ALEX, also known by his full name Alexander Onizawa (21), was arrested on April 5 for groping a young woman on a train in Kanagawa. The incident was settled out of court, so ALEX was not prosecuted, but it was still ultimately decided that ONE OK ROCK will continue without him.

Is it Alex decision for not to be with the band or it is the band decision?
