Why Is Brian Burkheiser Leaving I Prevail Band? Exit Explained
Wondering why Brian Burkheiser left I Prevail after a decade as co-vocalist? The longtime frontman, known for his clean vocals and emotional delivery, had been a central part of the band's sound since their 2013 debut. After years of health struggles and lineup adjustments, his quiet exit marks a major shift for the Grammy-nominated rock group. Here's what led to Burkheiser's departure, how the band plans to move forward, and what fans can expect next from I Prevail. I Prevail officially announced on May 15, 2025, that co-vocalist Brian Burkheiser has parted ways with the band. The group described the decision as 'mutual' and 'difficult' in a statement shared on social media, expressing gratitude for Burkheiser's decade-long contribution since the band's formation in 2013. Burkheiser had provided clean vocals alongside Eric Vanlerberghe, who will now assume full vocal duties moving forward. Guitarist Dylan Bowman, who previously supported vocals during Burkheiser's absences, will continue in that role. The band confirmed they will maintain their current tour schedule, including an upcoming performance at Welcome to Rockville, following their recent appearance at Sonic Temple.

He explained on social media that he had suffered from undiagnosed symptoms since 2018 and said, 'If I'm being honest, this disease has broken me over the last few years.' The describes Eagle syndrome as causing pain in the face or throat due to atypical structures. Burkheiser did return for the summer 2024 shows. He and his wife welcomed a son in January 2025. The band has not confirmed whether his medical condition influenced the final decision to depart. I Prevail's latest album, True Power, was released in 2022 through Fearless Records. An expanded edition dropped in October 2024, featuring the new track 'Hate This Song' and three reimagined singles.
