Neil Perry<\/strong> still has a lot to say about his termination from his family group, The Band Perry.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome families play board games. Others take each other\u2019s life\u2019s work,\u201d Perry, 36, wrote alongside a TikTok video<\/a> uploaded on Thursday, September 17.<\/p>\n

Perry included a snippet of a new untitled song from his solo project named WOLVESofJUNE.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Band Perry \u2192 The Banned Perry. Drop your family lore in the chat,\u201d he wrote in the caption.<\/p>\n

Perry\u2019s post comes more than a month after he claimed that he was \u201cterminated\u201d from The Band Perry. (The Band Perry previously consisted of Neil and his siblings Kimberly Perry<\/strong> and Reid Perry<\/strong> before Kimberly\u2019s husband<\/a>, Johnny Costello<\/strong>, joined the group in 2025. Reid ultimately left The Band Perry that same year.)<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tNeil Perry is opening up about his exit from The Band Perry. \u201cJune 2024 took something from me. Something I had spent my entire life building. A band. A business. A family. A name,\u201d the musician wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, August 11. \u201cMy sister wanted her husband to become a member of the band, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cJune 2024 took something from me. Something I had spent my entire life building. A band. A business. A family. A name,\u201d the musician wrote via Instagram in August. \u201cMy sister wanted her husband to become a member of the band, taking my brother\u2019s place. I made it equally clear that I was not okay with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neil continued, \u201cBy then, the situation had become about far more than the lineup. I had witnessed instability and broken trust that fundamentally changed my ability to move forward. Weeks later, I was terminated. The day after my birthday. I never expected that my decision not to participate under those circumstances would also mean losing my financial interest and access to the band\u2019s platforms, resources and audience I had spent my life helping build.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neither Kimberly nor Costello have publicly addressed Neil\u2019s allegations. Us<\/em> previously reached out to Kimberly, Costello and Reid but did not hear back.<\/p>\n

While Neil is no longer involved with The Band Perry, he shared that he planned on continuing music with a solo project.<\/p>\n

\u201cI watched a story emerge that didn\u2019t resemble the one I lived. The anger became music. The grief became songs. The loss became freedom,\u201d he continued. \u201cJune 2024 took the old life. @wolvesofjune is what came next.\u201d<\/p>\n
