Following recent rumors, Spiritbox have officially confirmed that they have dropped off their tour with Falling In Reverse and Ice Nine Kills. The band, who were previously set to appear on select dates of that run, made the move after facing backlash from fans who were upset with them for taking part in the tour despite the past abuse allegations against Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke. Crown The Empire, who are also performing on select dates, were also brought up due to the abuse allegations against their guitarist Brandon Hoover. This latest news also comes after Spiritbox singer Courtney LaPlante previously took a stand against nonconsensual actions made by artists within the scene. Spiritbox issued the following statement:
“We have withdrawn from the 6 shows we were scheduled to perform on the Popular Monstour.”
