Neil Perry says he has been cut out of The Band Perry’s current lineup, describing his departure as being “terminated.” According to reporting from Variety and Billboard, Perry says he objected to how the band’s reconstituted version is presented, particularly after Kimberly Perry continued the act without her brothers.
Both outlets link the change to Kimberly Perry’s decision to carry the Band Perry forward as a duo, with her husband stepping in. Perry argues that his own support is being framed in a way he does not endorse, and he says he explicitly asked his sister not to misrepresent his stance on the new lineup.
The accounts focus on Perry’s public comments and the resulting family dispute, with the emphasis differing by outlet style rather than on the core facts: he alleges formal exclusion from the group, and he attributes the current arrangement to Kimberly Perry’s move to perform with her husband instead of the original sibling trio.
