Earlier this week, drummer Steven Drozd revealed that the Flaming Lips were done with him. An innocent post about his excitement for acquiring an Akai drum machine opened a can of worms regarding where Drozd stands with the band. “They’re done with me — but we’re not talking about it. So I’m moving on,” he said. Now, the Flaming Lips’ Matthew Duckworth Kirksey, who joined the band in 2014, has released a statement via Instagram in collaboration with the band’s own account.
