Ikinalungkot ng netizens ang pag-alis ng miyembro ng Filipino band na Up Dharma Down na si Armi upang tahakin ang pagiging solo artist.

Kinumpirma ito ng banda sa kanilang Facebook post kahapon, Disyembre 26.

"We wanted to let you know that Armi has left UDD. We thank her for sharing her talent and artistry in the songs we created together. We'll never forget how the four of us started out, how thrilled we were in 2004 to finally be playing at Saguijo to a crowd of twenty people," pahayag ng UDD.

Hiniling naman ng banda na suportahan pa rin ng fans si Armi sa mga future projects nito.

"We, the remaining members, will continue to make music under Terno Recordings. This will be a new and different adventure for us and we hope you can be a part of it too."

Samantala, pinasalamatan naman ng banda ang mga taga-suporta nito sa 17 taong paghahatid ng kanta.

"We would like to thank you, our fans and listeners, for being with us on this journey--17 years, 4 albums, and thousands of gigs. We are so grateful. We really wouldn't have made it this far without all of you. Please keep supporting OPM!"

Matatandaan na pinasikat ng banda ang mga kantang Tadhana, Oo, Sana, at Unti-unti.
