Sheila on 7’s drummer leaves band

Sheila On 7's drummer, Brian Kresna Putro, decided to leave the band. This news was confirmed by Sheila On 7’s management which stated that from 6 April 2022, Brian is no longer a part of Sheila On 7.

There is no detail about the reason behind Brian's departure. According to a report by Antaranews, the band’s management only stated, “The decision was agreed upon after going through an evaluation, a long consideration and of course discussions with Brian himself. God willing, we accept this decision with sincerity for the best purpose for the journey of both parties going forward."

Information about Brian's departure from SO7 was announced to fans first, then to the public. "In general, they are not necessarily S07 listeners, so we went to the fan club first; the official members. After all, once Sheila Geng S07 got the news, it would spread," Muhammad Subarkah or Adam, SO7's bassist and manager, told CNN..

Brian joined the band as an additional drummer to replace Anton in 2004. He was involved in the recording of the album "The Very Best of Sheila On 7" in 2005 which marked the beginning of his career as a drummer for SO7.
