Following a week in which Dance Gavin Dance clean vocalist Tilian Pearson was twice accused of sexual misconduct, including during their annual Swanfest Music Festival recently, the band has announced Tillian’s immediate hiatus from the band. No word on how long this will be for and Pearson is said to be getting immediate help. The band will continue their full slate of touring planned and their upcoming new album, Jackpot Juicer, due out July 29th via Rise Records. The band has managed to push forward in spite of the death of bassist Tim Feerick recently. Read the band’s statement below.

Tim himself took to reddit earlier this week to give his account of the original claim against him, which you can read here.
