Na mensagem ele diz que foi uma honra trabalhar com a banda, que foi um sonho que se realizou e levará pra sempre todas as lembraças desse tempo e que deseja sucesso e sorte em tudo que eles fizerem. Aproveitou também para agradecer a todos os fãs, muitos que ele teve a chance de conhecer pessoalmente e que o apoio e amor dos fãs inspirou ele muito mais do que podemos imaginar e falou sua clássica frase: 'Os fãs do Incubus são os melhores fãs do mundo'. E assim como nós, irá sentir saudades.
Agora ele irá se dedicar ao seu projeto 'Renman Music & Business' que já existe há 1 ano e meio, que está em busca de novas experiências, ajudando uma nova geração de artistas e músicos aspirantes a alcançar seus sonhos.
E no IncubusHQ havia um post da banda:
"A partir de hoje, Incubus e Steve Rennie decidiram se separar. Nós, como banda somos imensamente gratos por esses muitos anos de orientação e apoio, e desejamos sucesso e felicidade em seus futuros empreendimentos."
Abaixo a mensagem (em inglês) postada pelo Steve:
After 16 amazing years, my tenure as manager of Incubus has ended. It has been my honor and privilege to have served as manager and mentor to Brandon, Mike, Jose, Chris, Ben, and Alex. I want to thank each of them for allowing me to be a part of their rock n roll dream. It's been an amazing ride, the memories of which, I will treasure forever. I wish the guys good luck and success in all that they do in the future.
I wanted to also acknowledge and say thank you to the thousands of Incubus fans around the world who I've had the chance to meet and interact with over the last 16 years. Your support and love has inspired me in ways you could not possibly imagine. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Incubus fans are the greatest fans in the world. I will miss you.
For me, I'm really looking forward to spending more time on new things that I'm passionate about. While I'm hanging up my Incubus manager hat I've not lost my passion and desire to help this next generation of artists and aspiring music professionals reach for their dreams.
As most of you know, a year and a half ago I started a website, Renman Music & Business, and a webshow called Renman Live to help mentor folks about today's music business. I've had the opportunity to invite some of the smartest and most talented people in the music biz to join me on Renman Live to share their insight and experience with folks who are dreaming of doing something big in music. It's been a ton of fun and I want to do more.
On Wednesday I will be launching Renman U, my insider's guide to todays music business. It's a free 12 week online course for folks who are dreaming of doing something big in the music business but who don't live in one of the major music hubs or can't afford to attend a university. If that sounds like you I hope to see you in 'class'.
The last 16 years with my friends in Incubus has truly been a dream come true for me. But, I'm still a dreamer at heart and I'm not done dreaming yet and I'm definitely not done doing.
Thanks to all of you for your support.
Cheers,
Ren
