Um dos melhores bateristas da história da musica abandonou a banda que ele próprio fundou em 1985 juntamente com John Myung e John Petrucci.
Mike Portnoy divulgou que depois de tocar nos Hail! ou Avenged Sevenfold sente mais animo nestes projectos do que na banda de sempre e pediu uma pausa aos restantes membros do grupo mas estes preferiram continuar sem o baterista.
Deixo aqui a declaração que os Dream Theater colocaram no seu site oficial :
- "To all of our loyal fans and friends: It is with profound sadness -- regret -- we announce that Mike Portnoy, our lifelong drummer and friend, has decided to leave Dream Theater. Mike's stature in the band has meant the world to all of us professionally, musically, and personally over the years. There is no dispute: Mike has been a major force within this band.
While it is true that Mike is choosing to pursue other ventures and challenges, we can assure you that Dream Theater will continue to move forward with the same intensity -- and in the same musical tradition -- that you have all helped make so successful, and which is truly gratifying to us."
