FLYLEAF Reunites With Singer LACEY STURM

FLYLEAF has reunited with singer Lacey Sturm.

Earlier today (Monday, November 7), the long-running hard rock act, which has been active for much of the last decade, shared an old FLYLEAF photo with Sturm and changed its profile photo to an image that reads “Flyleaf With Lacey Sturm.”

Sturm left FLYLEAF in October 2012. She was replaced by Kristen May, who recorded one album with the group, 2014’s “Between The Stars”, before exiting.

“We toured for ten years. I mean, we weren’t home for more than a month, probably, a year. So, for me, I just felt really blessed to be pregnant and to be in a place where I could stay home if I wanted to, and really ask that question: how is this gonna change my priorities? How is this gonna look? We had a few things happen that really brought that message home, but the one that hit the hardest was the death of our sound engineer [Rich Caldwell]. We did one last show with FLYLEAF as a benefit for his wife Katy and their son Kirby. And it was really hard to do a show without him, and it was really hard to think it could be our last show. So I remember looking at my son after Rich had passed and just wondering to myself, if this was the last year I had with my son, how would I spend it?

“It was really amazing to recognize this season changing in my life and the freedom that I was gonna be able to focus on my family. And I’m so thankful for that time. And although it was really hard, I’m thankful. And that’s the reason I stepped down from FLYLEAF.”

She added at the time: “I don’t have any plans for that, but then again, you never know. I don’t know… [Laughs] They haven’t called me. And I don’t have any plans [to go back].”

At several shows earlier this year, Sturm joined SEETHER on stage to perform the FLYLEAF song “I’m So Sick”.
