Claude Coleman Jr. will take a leave of absence from Ween. The longtime Ween drummer cites a plentiful number of reasons for his departure, including focusing on his side-project Amandla. While on a break from Ween, Coleman plans to both tour and record with Amandla, as well as entertain other gig options. Ween is currently off the road after wrapping up its summer tour at Brooklyns McCarren Park Pool. The group has yet to announce a temporary replacement for Coleman.
