Reported by mailman

According to offspring.com, drummer Ron Welty has decided to part ways with the The Offspring. He had this to say: "After more than 15 great years with The Offspring I've decided to leave to devote all my energies on a new project called Steady Ground. I wish Dexter, Noodles and Greg the best of luck moving forward and it's time for me to focus on my own thing." Josh Freese, formally of A Perfect Circle and The Vandals, is sitting in for Ron while the band is in the studio.
