WIth a statement on social media, Cassiano “Cassi” Toma has parted ways with the band Paleface Swiss.Toma joined the band in 2023. No replacement has been revealed yet.

Goodbye Cassi, thank for everything, we love you forever🫶🏻

“Hey everyone, Cassi here.

I want to share something personal with you all. I’ve made the decision to step down from the drum throne. And before anything gets lost in noise or speculation, please know this: this was a decision made together, with care, honesty, and love on all sides.

There’s no falling out, no bitterness. Only deep respect and a bond that will never fade. What we’ve built together means more to me than I can put into words. These years have been some of the most beautiful, intense, and unforgettable moments of my life. I will always be proud to have been part of this family, this dream.

But sometimes love also means being honest about your limits. Lately, it’s all become a little too heavy for me to carry the way I want to. I’m still navigating my mental health, and I’ve had to face the difficult truth that right now, I can’t be the drummer this band deserves, or the person I want to be for myself.

That realization hurts. For all of us. But it also comes from a place of wanting the best for me, and for the band. We all want each other to grow, to thrive, and to shine as brightly as possible.

Tonight will be my last show behind the kit. And tomorrow, we’ll still be together, celebrating life, celebrating my birthday, celebrating everything we’ve shared.

So let’s hold onto the memories with warmth, even if they come with a little ache. Let’s allow both joy and sadness to exist at the same time. And let’s trust that this isn’t just an ending, but also the beginning of something new for all of us.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to everyone who’s been part of this journey.

All love, always ❤️
