3 Doors Down Guitarist Leaves Band

3 Doors Down says on its website that founding member and guitarist Matt Roberts has left the rock band because of health problems.

The statement Wednesday says Roberts has problems with blood circulation and other health issues. It calls the split amicable.

Roberts grew up with bassist Todd Harrell and lead singer Brad Arnold in Mississippi. Together they formed the band in Escatawpa, Miss., in 1996.

Arnold says Roberts will be welcomed back if he's able to return.

Guitarist Chris Henderson and drummer Greg Upchuch will continue to tour.

Did you know that?

Pearl Jam“s first name was "Mookie Blaylock" after the All-Star basketball player, but the name was changed to "Pearl Jam" due to trademark concerns. Vocalist Eddie Vedder claimed in an early interview that the name was a reference to his great-grandmother Pearl. In 2006 guitarist Mike McCready said that bass player Jeff Ament came up with "Pearl" and that "Jam" was added after seeing Neil Young live.
