A few weeks back, the internet was a-buzz with gossip about Jonny Craig (vocalist for Dance Gavin Dance and Emarosa) scamming his fans into sending him money. He claimed that he was selling them his macbook, but in reality he was collecting money for drugs.
But the only thing better than a good scandal is sweet, sweet redemption. Jonny has sent out an apology to his fans, taking responsibility for his drug problem and his actions. Fans should definitely read; grammar purists should NOT.
“I want to apologize for my recent behavior,” Craig commented. “My actions regarding taking advantage of fans was inexcusable. I’m in the process of paying everyone back so please forgive me. My state of mind was completely shot and obviously my decision making skills were heavily impaired due to my drug use. I’ve since been in detox and successfully completed the treatment. I’ve learned a lot from this ordeal and I realized I’ve redeemed my second chance. I want to personally thank Eric at Artery and Craig at Rise for helping me through this emotionally and financially. I’m embarrassed with my past actions, I want to make amends to everyone I hurt. Again, sorry to all my fans, family, band mates and colleagues. I’m truly sorry. Now back to work…I’m looking forward to seeing all the DGD fans and their positive energy that they always bring to the shows. With that being said, the past will stay dead and let’s toast to the future kids.”
Thank God that’s settled. Now we can all stop talking about this and go back to talking about how that dude from Blood On The Dance Floor is a statutory rapist!
