Turns out Chris Stapleton didn’t just leave The SteelDrivers to focus on family—he was actually fired after a behind-the-scenes disagreement about the band’s future. Stapleton revealed on a recent podcast that a member’s fear of flying sparked a split in the group, and his vision for the band clashed with the rest. Even after all his solo success, Stapleton admits the firing stung. It’s wild to think that one of country’s biggest stars was “technically kicked out” before his rise. Does this change how you see his journey—or the band’s? #Entertainment #Music #ChrisStapleton
