30 Seconds To Mars Loses Guitarist, Releases New Music Video ‘Rescue Me’

30 Seconds to Mars drops an emotional music video for "Rescue Me." The clip drops after Tomo Milicevic announced his departure from the band.

Milicevic has served as the guitarist of 30 Seconds to Mars for 15 years. He explained his exit from the band via his Twitter account. In the lengthy post, Milicevic said that his decision to leave 30 Seconds to Mars was for his own good and stressed that it is the right thing to do.

The guitarist also gave his fans a shout-out on his post. He asked them to not be sad or angry over his decision. He said that even though he has left 30 Seconds to Mars, he and his former bandmates will always be family.

'Rescue Me' Music Video

Jared Leto and the other members of 30 Seconds to Mars have yet to make a comment about Milicevic's departure. However, their over three-minute "Rescue Me" music video suggested that they are saddened by their pal's exit.

The music video opens with close-up shots of various people who all have somber looks on their faces. Around 13 seconds into the clip, Leto appears, staring into the unknown. He continues to sing the lines to the song while more faces are shown on the screen.

"Rescue Me" is all about a person's plea to be saved from the demons in his head. At one point in the music video, the camera pans out to show Leto's full body. The other subjects also scream and break into a dance throughout the clip.

30 Seconds To Mars Drops 'America'

The track is the fourth single released by 30 Seconds to Mars as part of its America album. The compilation was unveiled last month. The music video for "Rescue Me" was directed by Mark Romanek, and written and produced by Leto and KillaGraham.

The other songs in America include "Walk on Water," "Dangerous Night," "One Track Mind," "Monolith," "Love Is Madness," "Great Wide Open," "Hail to the Victor," "Dawn Will Rise," "Remedy," "Live Like A Dream," and "Rider."

Jared Leto Talks About 'Walk On Water'

Following the release of the album, Leto talked about "Walk on Water," where he sings a line about making love with the devil.

"So if you make a deal with the devil, there are certain things you can expect. 'Walk on Water' is a song very much about the times we're living in," said Leto.
