The band recently responded to the incident in a brief statement via Facebook. "We've only become aware of Phil's arrest as the news was breaking," the post, which went up around 9:30 a.m. today, Nov. 6, reads. "We have no further comment. Phil's absence will not affect the release of our new album 'Rock or Bust' and upcoming tour next year." Rudd also faces charges of possession of methamphetamine and cannabis. Police raided the famous drummer's home in New Zealand, where he has lived for more than 30 years, early Thursday morning local time.
