Christian hard rock mainstays Red have confirmed that longtime vocalist Michael Barnes will be leaving the band after nearly two decades – but not before one final performance later this spring.

In a joint video message shared by co-founding brothers Randy Armstrong and Anthony Armstrong, the pair addressed mounting fan questions and confirmed Barnes' departure.

The decision comes after Barnes approached the brothers last year to focus on his family.

The Armstrongs expressed understanding for Barnes' decision, citing their families' sacrifices in allowing them to be on the road.

"We've given up a lot to be out there on the road doing what we love, but our families have also sacrificed and given up so much to allow us to be on the road," they explained.

Red will continue as a five-piece with Dan Johnson returning to drums after a four-year hiatus and AJ Reingardt of OHKAYA temporarily stepping in on vocals.

The revamped lineup will hit the road this May and June for a 20th anniversary celebration of End of Silence, with Barnes rejoining for one final show on Friday, June 5 in Dallas, Texas.

"We're gonna play through End of Silence and all the other songs that you guys love and you've got one more chance to see all of us together," the brothers assured fans.
