Jason Orange has quit boy band Take That saying he was "proud" of what the group had achieved since forming nearly 25 years ago.
The 44-year-old said there had been "no fallings out" after he told bandmates Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald last week that he did not want to commit to a new album.
In a statement, he said: "I have spent some of the best years of my life with Take That and I'd like to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey, including my bandmates, who I feel are like brothers to me.
"Most especially my gratitude goes to all of the good and kind, beautiful and ever-loyal fans of the band, without whom none of this could have been possible. Thank you.
"At the end of The Progress Tour I began to question whether it might be the right time for me to not continue on with Take That. At the start of this year and with my full knowledge and blessing the guys began writing new material."
The group said it was a 'sad day' for them professionally and personally Orange has followed in the footsteps of fellow ex-Take That star Robbie Williams who revealed earlier this year he would not be reuniting with the band for their next tour.
"There have been no fallings out, only a decision on my part that I no longer wish to do this," he said.
"I know how much Mark, Gary and Howard enjoy writing and making music, and they know that they have my full support and encouragement to continue on with what is to be another chapter for the band."
In a joint statement, the remaining members of the group said they "fully respect" Orange's decision.
"This is a sad day for us," they said. "Jason leaving is a huge loss both professionally and even more so personally.
"We first became aware of Jason's reservations a couple of years ago but had hoped that by giving him the desired time and space he may begin to feel differently.
"This has not been the case and we now have to accept and fully respect his decision which we know hasn't been an easy one.
"Jason's energy and belief in what this band could achieve has made it what it is today, and we'll forever be grateful for his enthusiasm, dedication and inspiration over the years."
