Cash leaves The Cab
There has been speculation for a couple weeks that members of The Cab were leaving the band.
With first a short post today on Alex DeLeon's blog and a response from Cash, they have tried to put rumors and concerns to rest.
This is the blog posted by Alex Deleon, singer of The Cab, on his blog http://symphonysoldier.com. He writes:
goodbye dear friend
First off I can’t thank our fans enough for making the What Happens In Vegas tour a success beyond our wildest dreams. I don’t think anybody quite realizes how much this means to us but it absolutely means the world. It was our first nationwide headlining tour and you guys were loving, welcoming, and absolutely incredible! I’m sad to say the day has come where Cash has decided to leave the band and to move on from touring to pursue his other interests and dreams and to do what’s right for him in Las Vegas. If you follow Cash on twitter I’m sure you’ve seen everything he has on his plate and that he’s been working on at home. We wish him the best and I’m sure he’ll be no stranger at a Cab show or anytime we’re back in town. Thank you again to everyone for your unending support, you’ve made the tour and this summer one we’ll never forget. We hope to see everybody again soon. We are happier than ever and have so many songs we are dying to show you guys! Get ready… the best is yet to come!

Current mood:  happy"Even though I’m gone, it doesn’t mean that I’m leaving you."
I decided to write this because the blog about me was really short with really no answers to any of the questions and rumors floating around the internet. So, here it goes. It was 11th grade, 2 men (boys) who were best of friends, 2 guitars and a band name, The Cab. My whole life, everything I did and all that I had was being put into a developing act. It was a newborn child, but sometimes, tho you love it... you have to let your child go to college. I’m proud as a founding member of this band to say the things I’ve done, the people I’ve met and the friends I’ve made. After five years it’s time for me to take a mental nap. Being home I can collect my thoughts and move forward. You guys out there don’t realize how much you have made me, me. Fans, friends and foes I thank you all for the motive you’ve brought into my life to help build a huge part of what I am today. Nobody should read this and be upset, be happy. You have a talented band following there dream and a few members that are now following there dreams. Times change, people change... hell, I’ve changed. But in my eyes its for the better that I move forward and settle down with a life in Las Vegas for now. I love touring, I love music and I will never not consider going out back on the road in some form... just now is really not my time. I want you all to be anxious for what’s to come of me in the future and know as a main point of this announcement that I am ok and alive. I will be better than ever. So this is me, this is who I’ve become. And to my brothers of the cab, I know what’s to come of you and all will be amazed when the world’s ears listen. Best of luck guys and for all of you across the states, come see me in Las Vegas sometime... it’s always nice to see an old friend. Love, cash money.  as a fan of The Cab, I was very upset when Ian left the band.
(totally unnecessary shot of Ian... cause I love him)
 (Cash is in there too! haha)
To know now that Cash is not going to be a part of the new record is another tough blow. in my eyes it's unclear whether Cash thinks that "going out back on the road in some form... " will be playing bass with The Cab, but I hope so. The energy and love he brings to the stage have always made my night.
 I'm gonna miss Cash, and needless to say The Cab will not be the same without him. It seems that the Cab has been through a bit of a tough time in the last couple of months, and I really really hope that this is not because members of the band can't seem to get along. I hope they all remain friends.
 I can only hope that Cash's future will be bright. He's got his bar/venu Johnny and Harry's (@j_and_h_lv on Twitter) that seems to be taking up most of his time, and I hope it keeps going well. I'll be sure to stop by when I am A. 21 and B. in Las Vegas.
I think that Cash's latest tweet, as of writing this, really sums up the situation:
cashstwitThis is a permanent injury that won't last forever guys.

I say we go to Johnny and Harry's as part of a Vegas trip that should be my 21st birthday. Especially since my birthday will be right after we're done with school, and potentially right after I graduate. Definitely reason to party.
This is so very sad.
im really sad too :(
it'll eventually be a rule you have to be named alex to be in the band. i mean, it was only a matter of time
wait, what? like "we're breaking up so I'm leaving the band!" stuff?
Also, I forgot to say this last time, but this as all very well said. The journal I mean, not the comment. Well, the comment was okay too.
and now that ian left, which broke my poor heart, and now CASH...
i dunno, the cab isnt the same for me. i still love the alexs and their music,
but i just dont know. ugh its heart wrenching. :(
but it was actually Johnson who first gave out a subtle hint for yesterday's news, the night before.
Johnson tweeted it first, then alot of people responded asking why he didn't add Cash to the family tweet.
Then Marshall did the same thing with his tweet.
It kinda just came together that night for me.
It's sad but I'm happy for Cash.
Gotta love him and his nose cups and his crazy dancing with the bass moves.
