ROB

"Rob had told us at one point, I guess it was a few years ago, that he wanted to put some distance between him and the band." And we understood it, it was already obvious. He was starting to show up less, have less contact, and I know fans noticed it too. At the Hybrid Theory relaunch and Papercuts launch, he didn't show up for nothing. "So, for me, as a friend, it was sad, but at the same time I want him to do what makes him happy and, obviously, everyone wishes him the best"
