Part 2: Day26: Brian Angel Gives Middle Finger on Being Signed to Beyonce's Dad Mathew Knowles
--------
Day26 member Brian Angel candidly reflects on his past decision to leave the band. The headline-grabbing moment happened when Angel abruptly announced his departure on Instagram, a decision he now admits was a mistake. Speaking to Vlad, the artist revealed his reasons for leaving, citing personal growth and evolving priorities as the driving factors. Despite a five-year absence, during which Day26 continued without him, Angel's absence was palpably felt, particularly in the group's harmonies and dynamic. Band members acknowledged his unique contribution, emphasizing that no one else could fill his shoes.
The turning point came when Angel, on a path of self-discovery and spiritual growth, felt compelled to reconcile with his bandmates. A heartfelt conversation with Willie Taylor paved the way for Angel's return. Day26 marked their reunion with an appearance on the 2022 Millennium Tour and celebrated their 15-year anniversary. The group noted that while they were initially given the opening spot on the tour, they embraced the opportunity to reconnect with fans and showcase their renewed unity.
