To all my friends, family, fans and Fuelies… greetings and salutations! Over the past few months there has been a large dose of confusion and frustration amongst you all regarding what’s going on with Fuel. I hope this note answers all your questions. Do I try to give this to you in a dull, sterile-sounding bunch of business jargon that only makes you even more confused and pissed off, or do I simply write what is in my mind and heart? I choose the latter. The decision I have come to at this point in my life is to retire from Fuel. This is not a decision I just came up with at the drop of a hat. I have been thinking about this since the end of the Something Like Human tour. I know this may sound funny, but I feel like you, as fans, are kind of like our children and mom and dad are getting a divorce. I’m sorry that “it’s come to this” indeed. I will always love Carl, Jeff and even Kevin like brothers, and I hope that we can keep a great relationship for the rest of our lives. Carl and Jeff plan to continue on with Fuel. I think that’s great and I give them all of my support and blessings. I would never wish bad blood on anyone. We made a band that is fucking great, & I will always have those memories. Some of you might say that I’ve made this decision because of my new project, The X’s, or that it’s because I can’t sing anymore. Well, neither of these reasons are the case. I can still sing and I love what I am doing with the X’s. (In fact, I hope you come out and see us when we tour in your city.) But, the truth is, I feel like I need to push myself more as a musician and a writer and this is the best thing for me right now. Carl is a great songwriter. I have great songs in me too. Fuel, however, was never much of a collaboration. Collaborating is what I love to do and writing with others has re-sparked my passion for music. I love being a musician. I love the smell of a tour bus. I love having Sharpie marks all over my hands at the end of the night because I was out signing all of the things you wanted me to sign. I love the feeling of walking onto a stage and hearing your voices screaming at the top of your lungs. I love how some fans have actually cried when they met me. It’s hard to fathom that someone could even have that effect on people much less it be me. I love what each and every fan has given me… a chance to be what I have always dreamed of being. A FUCKING ROCKSTAR!!! I hope you all remember why you gravitated to Fuel in the first place. You liked the music and you liked the people playing it. Now, we are all branching out in bigger and bolder directions. I’m working with amazingly talented musicians and am really excited to share the outcome with you all. On with the future! Peace. Brett

I am totally inspired  by your decision and your passion for music.  Music is my life and it always has been.  I have been singing since I could talk n dancin since I could walk and I am always inspired by a TRUE musician.  Anyone can take a song someone else has written and with the right amount of computer equiptment sound like they can sing, but a TRUE artist can grab a guitar and a mic and just do what they do.  And the music comes from the heart!  It doesn't matter the name of the band all that matters is there is love and passion behind what is being played and I know that's what you do so I will follow u anywhere and with any band!  You're the best and u better believe I will be wherever you go!!!!!!!    I LOVE YOU!!!  ALWAYS N FOREVER!  KEEP ROCKIN!  YES FUEL ROCKS BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY YOU ROCK!!!

dont leave fuel man!! ur awesume and they wont be the same without you. WHY??? why leave with all the success u guys have had with just 3 albums?? I love every song u guys have put out. And natural selection from what i understand was nominated in a category for the grammys, thats pretty huge. With all the success and great music already recorded and with a great band already established i dont see why ud leave now when all that would be in ur future with them is just more and more success. but u still got an awesume and unique voice and i wish u the best, i just wish ud change ur mind and return to fuel where u belong and make many many more kick ass cds with them. rock on

First of all,

Thanks for everything you do, Brett. You are an amazing musician and I'm sure you will go far in all your endeavors in the future!

I won't lie and say that I won't miss seeing you with Fuel...because I think you are an INCREDIBLE frontman...but I also believe that the X's seem to be on their way to something big as well. Over all though, I'm happy that you're doing what makes YOU happy...and that will show through in your music. We, the fans, benefit from that as well and I wish you luck and much happiness. :)

As far as this comment:

" I love having Sharpie marks all over my hands at the end of the night "

I would have to ask....

What about the Sharpie marks on your stomach?  *falls on the floor in laughter*

So secondly, I have to say:

Thank you for being YOU, Brett....you are a wonderfully unique man and an incredible musician. ;)

Much love to you and yours

Brett - Let's see, I have been around through Real2Real, Small the Joy and Fuel. I partied with you in Cahoots, The Twist, Wanda's and multiple other bars and hotels around many states. I have followed you all over Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg, Atlantic City, Providence, Dewey Beach, Philly and Allentown. It wouldn't matter to me who you were singing or playing with, you have earned my trust, respect and faith in your talents. I am very sad that this partnership has come to an end.......you Carl and Jeff have been a part of my life since 1993. I will miss your awesome sound and great chemistry. With all that said - please know that I will continue to follow you to the next band, the next bar, the next town, the next venue. I remember the pre ROCK STAR days and am proud to continue to see your successes! You busted your ass and deserve the best!

Brett,

All I can say is THANK YOU. Being a singer, musician, songwriter, I can really understand your decision now. Thank you for the happieness and emotion you've given the world so far! I'm positive there's much more in you. You'll continue to be an influence and inspiration for years. You freakin ROCK. Please let me know when you'll make it out to the West coast!!

 

Your the best!

Please Brett if you're reading this do the music world a favor and go back to Fuel. The world needs more music that you and Fuel make. You and Carl were the best match up in a very long time and its terrible to see that go cause it seemed like you complimented each other. Every song you guys did kicked ass from the hard rock sound to even the ballad type songs. I know there's probably a lot more to it but I hope you realize that everyone still loves your music either way, but I also think anyone would agree you should still be with Fuel on top of the music charts and on top of the music world again where you belong. I wish you nothing but the best though, you're an awesume singer. Oh and why are you doing back up on some of those x's songs? With an awesume and unique voice like yours you need to be the lead singer of any band your in. Well good luck though, I still hope maybe one day you'll go back to Fuel and kick some major ass and show all the lame bands what great rock music really is all about. Until then the world will miss great music and a great band.

I just want to add my two cents...Brett you have amazed me from the first time I heard your voice and when I saw you walk out on the stage, you blew my mind. Fuel changed my life, I know that sounds so cliche but it did. When I hear fuel, I feel alive, going to a show allows me to be me, not someones mom or wife, just me. I have met some truly great people,(fuelies) over the years and that will never be forgotten.

Yes, the thought of never hearing you sing sunburn again breaks my heart, but I am truly happy that you have found the X's. I was one of those who checked out the X's just because it was something you were involved in but the music and your band mates are what makes me stay.(they are great guys)

I look forward to what your future brings to us and I wish you all the luck and happiness the rock n roll world has to offer.

Much love

Helen

I agree with helen, I can't fathom not hearing you sing Sunburn live ever again, or seeing you stalk and attack the stage, but then again, i haven't seen you perform with your new band either.

I was one of those silly girls who cried when I met you, albiet I had consumed a lot of beer and vodka that night, but  noneless I cried.  I cried again today, but first it kinda got stuck in my throat AND this time I was sober! Ha! That was a touching letter to your fans and friends, and I wouldn't expect anything thing less from you.

Thanks for everyting you did to change my life and make it a more fun and beautiful place, now it's your turn to do that for yourself. That says alot about a person, when they see a need for a drastic change and they have the courage to demand it from their self.

Micki and Helen said it best. What i'll miss most is not being able to hear  the whole fuckin crowd singing back to you with your arm stretched out and the mic in your hand pointing at us .. "all that shimmers in this world is sure to fade..away...again".

How a apropos for a time like this.

Continue to shine and grow with each passing day as you enter into the neXt phase of the layering of your life.

Thank you for giving me music that changed my life, brought me joy, happiness  and one of my closest friends to this day, Miss. Kristin!

You rock my world, Brett!!!!!

Brett,

Well i just have to begin by saying i truly and greatful to have been a fan of Fuel.. and i will always be a fan.. I have to say that you yourself have been an inspriation to me and my journey as a singer/songwriter.. and i can't emphasize how much that means to me as a person..Your vocal melodies and harmonies have been been inspriring to me, and have been  helpful to me in excelling my vocal abilities..

I appreciate you as a musician and as a person, though i've never met you.. i can tell you are a great person and you are a true musician and truly do it all for the love.. i respect that.. so in closing, goodluck with the X's and i will make it a point to check you guys out when opprotunity arrives.. thanks so much Brett, you a true rocker!!!!!!

brett... you've always had a way with words and always made the fans feel like more than just a person in the audience or a person who owns the album. your words are honest and beautiful and i thank you for your genuine integrity. i will never forget that my gravitation towards fuel was your voice. that voice and your presence kept me hanging on. each time renee and i would look at you we'd think.... exactly what you've always wanted... you are "A FUCKING ROCKSTAR" and always will be. you have that presence, that aura, and that power... so run with it wherever it takes you! life means nothing unless you challenge yourself and take risks. thanks for 5 years of fun, excitement, truth, and beauty! i'm excited for your future.... and on to the rest of our years...... :oD~kristin

I will definitely miss all the Fuel road trips, but im looking foward to all the trips with the X's

Its funny that you mention fans crying when they met you. I was one of them, only I didnt just cry, i was hyperventilating as well, and my face was so red it i looked like a giant tomato. As embarrasing as that was, i wouldnt change that night becasue it was a memory that i will never forget!

Thank you for all the memories, looking foward to new ones!

Well spoken Brett! I totally understand. One person can reach what they see as going as far as you can go!! And those of us that like a great challenge or are very critical of ourselves feel like once we reach our goal....theres gotta be more!! Like you can never reach the top!! Because once you do ...you wonder if theres more to what your capable of! You are a great singer....and I will still be a Fuel fan!! they are great musicians as well.... you dont always have to be in front of the band to be heard!! Goodluck!!

Wow.  That is the first blog that ever brought tears to my eyes.  :)  As you can see, I've been lucky enough to meet you after a show.  As a matter of fact, it was in Baltimore for the Something Like Human Tour at Bohager's I believe.  Even though I was too shy to even say anything to you, it was one of the best memories for me...ever!  Now I have the opportunity to tell you...Thank you.  Not just for the picture, but for being an amazing singer/song writer/performer and taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet your fans.  I am sad that you left Fuel but am happy that you are moving on to bigger and better things.  I look forward to seeing your new band in Philly on March 23rd.  Best of luck to you.  I hope all your dreams come true!  :)

Fuel is dead. whatever they do in the future is a slap in the face to the fans and I feel, to Brett as well.

I wish Brett all the best luck and know everything he touches will turn to gold (or platinum!)

I can't wait to hear that voice again on some new tunes. singing his own songs.

Carl may have written some great songs over the years, but dude, Brett gave the songs life.

Brett, I have loved Fuel's music for so long and I wish them the best in finding a new lead vocalist; however, NO ONE can replace you.  From the time I heard you, your voice just hit something good in me.  You have one of the most awesomest voices I have ever heard.  I was actually hoping to see you in concert some day (never had that chance) & to meet you for some pics. I do wish you the best in everything, continue to ROCK ON...Peace..

Hey Brett.

My band (powervibe) has had the opportunity to perform along side Kevin's new band Fosterchild. He and the rest of the crew are a great bunch of guys, so when you say he and the other guys in Fuel are good people, Im sure you speak the truth.

Best of luck with the new project and keep rocking. Thanks for keeping us all Fuel'ed and hopefully we'll be getting X'd real soon.
