Wow, you can’t accuse For Today of not sticking to their Christian beliefs. Just one week after their fifth album, Immortal, had an unbelievable debut in the top 15, drummer David Morrison  has left the band. He’s decided to leave the band to do missionary work in South America. He mentions that God spoke to him while he was praying, and told him to do so. With the band on the Warped Tour, which starts this weekend, the band has tapped former Crimson Armada drummer David Puckett to play. Morrison talks about his decision to leave the band in the above clip. Whether you’re religious or not, you’ve got to admire Morrison for sticking to his conviction.
