While in the final stages of signing a deal with Interscope Records back in 2011, Imagine Dragons also looked to change the lineup of the band. Bringing Daniel Platzman on the stage, the drummer seemed to be the perfect fit. And the rest fell into place as the drummer spent the next decade with the band. Working in the studio and on the road, Imagine Dragons grew both their fanbase and discography. But after taking a break for some time, Platzman announced his departure from the group, explaining how he wanted to take his career in a different direction.
