Supporters of The Juans are disappointed by the iconic Filipino pop-rock band’s formal news that drummer Joshua Coronel would be leaving the group.

The Juans and their management, Viva Artists Agency, made certain that Joshua’s departure went as planned.

“The Juans and Viva is confirming Joshua Coronel’s departure due to personal reasons and matters.”

“Rest assured that it is an amicable separation and that the rest of The Juans members wish nothing but the best for Joshua.

“We also want to express our heartfelt appreciation to all the Juanitas for your support to the group,” opisyal na pahayag ng The Juans.

Joshua’s choice was endorsed by the Juans.

“He’s focusing on family and new opportunities. We are all in support of Joshua’s new season since we all know that family life is a brand new chapter and could entail major life-changing decisions along the way.”

Will a substitute be found for Joshua?

The publicist for The Juans said, “The Juans will be a 4-piece band and will be welcoming sessionistas on certain occasions depending on the occasion.”

The Juans and their supporters will come in force on July 1 at the SM North Edsa SkyDome.

The Juans will make a “big announcement,” and their fans should keep an eye out for it. Those who are unable to attend the SkyDome may witness the announcement live on The Juans’ social media platforms, which they have made clear is not up to their followers.
