Speculation about the future of Evanescence is running rampant, as guitarist John LeCompt and drummer Rocky Gray have officially left the group. LeCompt claims to have been fired, while Gray left on his own accord. The two have announced plans for a new band, tentatively called Machina.

Guitarist Ben Moody left the group in 2003, as did bassist Will Boyd in 2006.http://www.nme.com/news/evanescence/28172
