Casting Crowns, drummer Andy Williams has announced that he is leaving the group to start a new band, Soul Sister Sally, with his wife, Kelly, who will serve as lead singer. In a Feb. 18 statement at the band's Web site, Andy expressed appreciation to Casting Crowns and its fans:
In December of 2007, my mom suffered a massive stroke. She hung out with us for a few months but then she was ready to go. In June of 2008, she went home to see Jesus. The ministry of Casting Crowns reached out to one of its own during that time. They showed me what we have hopefully shown to you over the past 6 years and that is, the love of Jesus. I am truly thankful and beyond blessed to have been a small part of the Casting Crowns family.
