Doc Coyle shared his perspective on X: “Dear Wolfpack, I regret to inform you that I have decided to part ways with Bad Wolves. It was not an easy decision to make. I have been playing with the band for almost 9 years, so this is a massive life change for me.”
“I am still rooting for Bad Wolves to take over the world,” Coyle continued. “And it warms my heart knowing that our old guitarist, Chris Cain, is coming back to take the baton from me on lead guitar. I feel like I’ve lost a bit of who I am as a creative and where my passion lies.”
