We got a confirmation when Sarmad Ghafoor Updated his Facebook status on 21st November at around 4pm:
”It’s very sad for me to announce this, but I am no longer a part of Qayaas. My best prayers, and wishes to Umair Jaswal Khurram Waqar Salman Rafique Shehryar Ghayas and Kamran Farooque for the future.”
Another Facebook Update from Umair Jaswal was:
”It is extremely painful and saddening that there will be a change in QAYAAS’s line up .. But whatever happens we are best of friends and brothers ! Had a great time creating all that magic in the studio and on stage .. Wishing everyone success and happiness in their career and lives .. As for QAYAAS .. Show must go on .. And you’ll hear pretty soon from the band ! Keep supporting.”
