"After careful consideration, I've decided to part ways with Joe (guitar) and Ryan (drums)," Lawrence wrote in the post. "This decision stems from my belief in accountability and doing what's right. The actions of my bandmates directly conflict with my values, and I have sympathy for anyone who has been affected by such actions."

The announcement comes 11 days after Lawrence revealed that Winnen had left the band in November 2024. At the time, the band said a new drummer would join them to complete their 2025 North American tour, which was set to resume Feb. 8 in Denver.

"We appreciate your understanding and support as we navigate this transition," the band wrote Jan. 17. "This will be the first time we hit the road without a founding member, and we're excited to have you experience this new chapter of COIN with us."

COIN formed in 2012 when Lawrence, Memmel and Winnen were students at Belmont University in Nashville. They gained popularity with their singles "Talk Too Much" and "Chapstick." The band's bassist, Zachary Dyke, left the group in 2018.

No official statements or evidence have emerged regarding the misconduct allegations against Winnen and Memmel. However, rumors have been circulating around social media since Winnen's departure announcement, leaving fans confused and upset.

"To our listeners, I am sorry for the disappointment this may bring," Lawrence wrote in the Instagram post. "Your support has meant the world to me, and I owe it to you to be honest and decisive in addressing this situation. I'm not done making music yet, and I have deep regret for the way things have unfolded."
