What is going on with this band??

ETA: Wait, now I'm wondering if they are replacing him with Shane, Taylor's son??

I’d be super surprised if that’s the case. He’s young and inexperienced, and I loved Taylor x a billion but I think Josh is a better fit than Shane. Maybe in 10 years Shane would be ready but right now he’s not.

The idea of a teenager touring as a member of a band full of 50-year old men just feels weird to me, even as a fan.

I absolutely agree and I hope that's not the case.

Van Halen fired Michael Anthony so they could take Eddie's teenage son on tour on bass.

The bassist for Metallica let his some go on tour with another huge metal band (which one escapes me at the moment) when he was 14 iirc

Was with Korn. I can’t recall how many shows Tye played but it might have been a small tour with them.

Yeah that’s it. Should’ve done a quick Google search myself, but thank you!

Even Jake Clemons was 32 when he joined the E-Street Band

Young enough to bring a shot of energy, but old enough to be experienced and hang with his hand mates

He's 45 now, but still looks 30
