Avi Kaplan makes his departure from Pentatonix.

Avi Kaplan, the vocal bass for the a capella group, Pentatonix, announced he would be leaving the group, stating the fast pace at which they had been going had been a struggle, and that: "I do love you all so very much, but I’ve come to a point where I just can’t keep up anymore and I would never want to inhibit any type of success that we have because I truly do believe in everything that we’ve done and everything that they will do. I just know that I can no longer continue at this pace and so I have to do what’s best for the group and I have to do what’s best for me."

So far, it is unsure how this will affect future live performances (as they are going to be doing concerts later this month), and how this will affect the future of the group, having lost (what I feel), is an essential part of the group.

Superfruit and Kirstie have their own deals with RCA now, so I suspect a full split up (or extended break) is imminent.

Yeah, Kirstie just put out a track.

It's time for Kristie and Superfruit (Mitcha and Scott) to just resurrect Trio since that is what initially gave them the exposure to create Pentatonix.

So, basically f**k Kevin then? Seems a bit rude to do to him.
