The Band Perry has been embroiled in some crazy drama. Ever since Kimberly Perry had revived the sibling-borne band, things just didn't seem right - and we've finally got an update.
Per Whiskey Riff, at the time, Kimberly explained that her brothers had given her the blessing to keep it all going as a solo project. "I think they are very interested in The Band Perry getting landed as well," he explained.
"We are so proud of the past that we shared, and I think it's just been about where does it go in the future. This was really my family band in the living room before anything else."
"It's just so cool to feel that love and support and to know that, 'hey guys, I've got this. Everything that we built was so magical and so beautiful. And I'm gonna go land this with the same integrity that we started it with.' And of course, there's always an open seat for a brother if they ever want to tour."
But that's a sentiment that her brother Neil Perry doesn't agree with.

The Band Perry Alum Opened Up About His Experience
He took to social media yesterday to explain his side of the story. "June 2024 took something from me," he lamented. "Something I had spent my entire life building. A band, a business, a family, a name."
"My sister wanted her husband to become a member of the band, taking my brother's place. I made it equally clear that I was not okay with that. By then, the situation had become about far more than the lineup."
"I had witnessed instability and broken trust that fundamentally changed my ability to move forward. Weeks later, I was terminated. The day after my birthday."
"I never expected that my decision not to participate under those circumstances would also mean losing my financial interest and access to the band's platforms, resources, and audience I had spent my life helping build."
This looks like something that's a lot more deep-cut than what everyone originally thought. If nothing else, we hope that everything can be solved.
