Kerrang! reports: THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN guitarist Ben Weinman has denied online rumors that drummer Gil Sharone has quit the band.

“He didn’t leave and we didn’t kick him out. He will be busy though working with his other band (STOLEN BABIES) a lot over the next year so I am talking to other dudes both for DILLINGER possibilities and just for me to play with on other creative projects. We still may be touring and writing with Gil though. Kinda in the air. No big drama though or anything.”
