I'm already looking forward to the reunion show. This next tour/album will be so strange without him.

Well, this is a bit a of a shock. You will be missed. Question: Do you think the band will get a replacement (not that Franz could ever be replaced)? Because it would be pretty hard to just completely cut him out live... Imagine Stevie Nix without the piano! Or Modesto Is Not That Sweet without accordion!

I can't think of one song in their catalog that doesn't owe a huge debt to Franz's accompaniment. This is such a blow. I don't even know if I want him to be replaced. Doesn't even seem possible.

Damn. Best of luck Franz. His solo album showed definite promise.

Thank you, Franz. "Whoa ho ho whoa ho ho ho ho" just won't be the same without you. True. It's been too long between posts. Sad sad news. Best of luck to you Franz.

I honestly think I won't be able to listen to THS without welling up or raising my glass as a small gesture of thanks.

I saw on Pitchfork today. You will be missed. You definitely brought something to the band that will be lost. No one can replace you!

THIS SUCKS! I hope the best for FN. But he just seemed to fit in so perfect. I Hope THS can find half of what Franz was. So Crazy! Such a Bummer. I was begging for some THS news. But Not this! WOW.

my head says "goodbye, good luck" but my heart says "come back! we need you!" to say things won't be the same from here on out is the saddest of understatements.

Franz is a cool dude, and he contributed a lot to the band (ie, thank yous are in order, yes), but I'm excited to see what the future now holds. Should be a good opportunity for the band to tackle whatever's next with a fresh perspective. Here's to the future!

Stage left is where the fun is at a THS show. It won't be the same without you Franz. Thanks for so many great songs and performances. I'll see you at your solo shows.
