Rob Williford, a longtime member of Luke Combs’ band and a co-writer of several of Combs’ biggest hits, announced his departure from Combs’ band in a heartfelt social media post.

Williford served as Combs’ guitarist on the road for several years and co-wrote songs such as “Doin’ This,” “Forever After All, and “Beautiful Crazy,” revealed the news on Tuesday. In his post, he reflected on his time on tour with the reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year and shared his gratitude for the time they spent together.

“From a Dodge Neon to a 15 passenger van to a bus… from dive bars to stadiums. For the past decade, I have had the pleasure of playing music with my friend. I still can’t quite wrap my head around it all when I try to step back and reflect on the experience that started with a couple guys from Carolina writing songs together and playing ’em for whoever would show up. I don’t think either of us could have ever dreamed where it would take us, but as for me, I know for damn sure, even if I could, I wouldn’t change a thing,” he began.
