Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn has released a follow-up statement to his video earlier today (Sept. 28) revealing what was perceived to be the band's farewell tour, and the departures of both guitarist Phil Demmel and drummer Dave McClain.

"I've been getting a lot of texts based on the video that I did earlier today on Facebook Live, and I just wanted to clarify that this is the farewell tour of this lineup; this era of Machine Head," he explained. "This is not the farewell tour of Machine Head. It's been a very emotional 48 hours, and I very well could have said that weird on Facebook Live - or not as good as I could have. And while the future of MachineHead is uncertain..." The clip ends abruptly at that point in his dialogue. You can watch it in full below.
