Maroon 5 is entering a "new phase" of his career, keyboardist Jesse Carmichael recently told PEOPLE.
"We used all this equipment when we were kids, working hard to establish ourselves as a group," Carmichael said. "We need to eliminate what we no longer use to make room for the equipment that will help us create what will follow. This equipment has played a very important role in our history and I hope it will go to a group or promising musicians who will be able to incorporate it into their own story.
