LOS ANGELES, CA  [Thursday May.17.2007]  /Mix103FM.com/ -- Angels & Airwaves bassist Ryan Sinn has been fired from the band, reports NME.com.

Sinn wrote a message to his fans on the website thearmyofangels.com: He said, "I received a phone call the evening of April 19th that concluded my relationship with Angels And Airwaves. I could go into an entire novel about my opinions of the whole matter and why I was given the axe, but to me, throwing dirt just seems desperate and tabloidial.

"All I'll say as to why I was kicked out, the reasons I was given weren't at all honest, and severely hypocritical to the point of abhorrent disgust."

Word is that Sinn is to be replaced by Matt Watcher, formerly of 30 Seconds To Mars, but that hasn't been confirmed.
