Comedy Glam Metal Band, Steel Panther announced the departure of long-time band member Travis Haley, better known as Lexxi Foxx.

The band released a statement on their website, detailing the leaving of one of their founding members, of course, in their own comedic way.

They have also released a video that includes pictures, videos of Lexxi Foxx’s time in Steel Panther. Check out the video below.

The statement reads:

“The great pandemic of 2020-2037 has affected all of us. For some though, it has opened doors of opportunity and been a catalyst to seek out one’s true calling in life. This is Lexxi’s story. He started his side business, “Sexy Lexxi’s Prettiest Pets,” to bring in money for Botox during the lockdown. But something miraculous happened. He realized that his love for making pets pretty was greater than his love for being pretty himself. Lexxi discovered a greater love. Possibly, the greatest love of all.

Lexxi has chosen to hang up his mirror and focus on his newfound passion. Making ugly dogs pretty. Anyway, after nearly 40 years of rocking together and taking Steel Panther from the Viper Room to headlining Wembley Arena, it is with heavy hearts – but great heavy metal memories – that we bid Lexxi Foxx farewell. We love you and we wish you a wonderful future putting eyeliner on chihuahuas.

Steel Panther will continue to rock the world. And though we may not ever find a bassist quite as beautiful as Lexxi, it shouldn’t be hard to find one to match his towering intellect.

Good Luck… And goodbye Lexxi Foxx!!”

As we already said before, Lexxi was one of the founding members of Steel Panther all the way back in 2000. Back then it was called Metal Shop. Some years later they settled on the Steel Panther name and became one of the most beloved comedic metal bands in the world. Headlining tours all over the world and selling out arenas.

Since 2009 they have released 5 studio albums.
