Rudd, 60, was arrested and faced his charges in the murder plot in a New Zealand court Thursday. He did not enter a plea. He was subsequently released on bail under the condition that he have no contact with any of the other individuals connected to the alleged plot, according to stuff.co.nz.

In addition to the charges pertaining to an attempted murder, Rudd also faced charges of possession of methamphetamine and marijuana, and making death threats.

"We've only become aware of Phil's arrest as the news was breaking. We have no further comment," the statement read. "Phil’s absence will not affect the release of our new album Rock or Bust and upcoming tour next year.”
