I\u2019ll be missing seeing you in the crowd at a Band Perry show but I\u2019ll be around, managing a new voice I believe in more than anything, Ryan Coleman. For me it was and will always be about making great country music, with and for the hardworking people who love it and live it. Thank you for every memory, I\u2019ll see you back in the saddle. I wish Kimberly and TBP the best as they move forward into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n The 36 year old\u2019s departure means that his sister, The Band Perry singer Kimberly Perry, is the final remaining original member of the trio. <\/p>\n \u201cReid!
