Connie Sgarbossa’s Insights on SeeYouSpaceCowboy’s Upcoming Tour with Dance Gavin Dance

Recently, it was announced that SeeYouSpaceCowboy would be supporting Dance Gavin Dance on their upcoming tour dates this year. However, this news has generated significant backlash from fans who are concerned about the band’s decision to tour with a group that has faced serious allegations in the past.

Many fans have pointed out the perceived hypocrisy surrounding this decision, especially considering that SeeYouSpaceCowboy had previously removed Roman Candle from their tour roster after allegations of domestic abuse against that band?s bassist surfaced. Fans are now questioning why the band would choose to tour with Dance Gavin Dance, who had initially supported their vocalist Tillian Pearson amidst allegations of sexual misconduct, only to part ways citing “creative differences” the following year. Such contradictions have led to heated discussions within the fan community.

In response to the backlash, Sgarbossa tweeted, “Believe me, there is no part of me as an individual that backs this either,” emphasizing her discomfort with the situation. She further expressed her dissatisfaction, stating, “Probably gonna be leaving SYSC due to a lack of urgency on issues I have been bringing up for a while now. It was fun while it lasted.” However, both tweets have since been deleted from her account, leading to speculation about her future with the band.

Ronnie Radke’s Controversial Response to Connie Sgarbossa’s Comments

Following Sgarbossa’s revelations about her discomfort with the tour lineup and her potential departure from SeeYouSpaceCowboy, vocalist Ronnie Radke of Falling in Reverse publicly criticized her, claiming to have seen text messages from the band indicating her prior acceptance of the tour.

Radke’s harsh response included the statement, “No, you do back it; I saw the screenshots of your text to the band. Also, you are making 100K on the DGD tour, you fucking punk ass bitch. Fucking poser. Drop off the tour if you don’t back it, then oh, wait, you need that 100K.” This incendiary tweet illustrates the tensions surrounding the situation and has sparked further discussions among fans and industry observers.

In a series of tweets that have since been deleted, Radke also reached out to the band, offering to produce new music for them, saying, “@syscband hey guys let me know if you want me to produce a new song and sing on the track in place of that other singer that quit.” He added, “@syscband you know what. Stay on the DGD tour. I’ll literally be your vocalist. You can keep my share of the money too, split it 4 ways.” As of now, SeeYouSpaceCowboy has not officially dropped off the tour, nor have they commented on Sgarbossa’s status within the band.
