After 11 years with the band, drummer Mark Pontius has announced he's leaving Foster the People.

"I've struggled with finding the words to begin this announcement so I guess I'll just rip off the band-aid and say that I've decided to leave the band I helped start 11 years ago, Foster the People," Pontius began the note."As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of our first record, I've been flooded with memories of our sudden success, achieving all of my career aspirations in a few short years and the beautiful moments spent with my brothers in the band.

"I will miss Mark, Isom and Sean, they are my family forever and I'm sure we will work together again one day," he said of his Foster bandmates, adding,"As for me, I've got a few ideas for the future but I'm just going to take it one day at a time for now."in 2011. The album included the band's breakthrough 2010 hit"Pumped Up Kicks," which was a top five hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Alternative Airplay chart.

I've grown up a lot since we started out, and in the couple of years since our last live show, my whole life has changed in every way. I've had a lot of time to myself to reflect on what truly matters. Among those things, I became a father to a now 2 year old daughter who has really changed the way I feel about living my life on tour. I find myself drawn to things closer to home. I've seen the world and I really checked everything off my career bucket list.
