A couple of days ago we posted that Every Time I Die were faux-tweeting as celebrities in order to promote their new DVD “Shit Happens.” As it turns out, some of these celebrities weren’t happy with what the band was doing and decided to go out and get the law involved. Bunch of party-poopers if you ask me.
The band offered an explanation on their Twitter page saying:
“It took 7 days for seize [sic] and desist papers to show up” as well as “Thanx for the support, glad so many people enjoyed our fake tweets but we can’t comment further on the legal troubles its caused, stay posi!” following shortly after.
Some of the band members took to their personal Twitter accounts in order to update fans on what’s going on. Guitarist Jordan Buckley tweeted: “Walked around an Austrian mall. came back to the venue and found out my band’s getting taken to court. awesome. all because of twitter. cool”
While Keith Buckley tweeted: “So backpeddling on @TheGunzShow and saying that most of those tweets were fake didn’t appease the celebs that knew they weren’t.”
We’ll keep you updated on the situation.
