Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke has responded to Spiritbox dropping out of their scheduled tour dates with the band.Last week, Spiritbox confirmed they had pulled out of opening for six dates on Falling In Reverse’s ‘Popular Monstour’ tour this summer.While they did not specify the reason for the cancellation, the decision came amid ongoing controversy relating to Radke’s behaviour.The polarising musician has faced allegations of abuse, rape, assault and transphobia in the past, all of which he has consistently denied.

He previously spent two-and-a-half years in prison for battery from 2008-2010.“We have withdrawn from the 6 shows we were scheduled to perform on the Popular Monstour,” Spiritbox wrote on social media.We have withdrawn from the 6 shows we were scheduled to perform on the Popular Monstour.— Spiritbox (@spiritboxband) March 13, 2023Our Last Night were then announced to perform in Spiritbox’s place.

Though Radke did not initially comment on the reason for the drop out, a fan replied: “I’m sure people assumed you were gonna talk trash about them for dropping off the tour.

It ruins things for certain people because they wanted drama so bad.”Radke then responded: “Could never talk trash, Courtney [LaPlante] and rest of them are so sweet, I feel sorry for them as some of their fans are awful.”.@OLNband is now replacing spiritbox, a second Vegas show has been announced.
