Well, this probably won’t come as much of a surprise but it seems the rest of the boys in Emarosa decided it would be better if they parted ways with their vocalist Jonny Craig.  The decision came not long after Craig was accused of scamming fans out of thousands of dollars and subsequently landed himself in a North Hollywood treatment center for drug abuse.

The band stated:

“As of today, Jonny Craig is no longer a member of Emarosa. This decision has been a hard one to make, but we feel it is in the best interest for the band going forward.”

To which Craig seems to have responded via tweet:

“i got no hard feelings to any of the dudes in @emarosa I AM more then happy to be with DGD and working on my solo shit.hope they can keep up”

Jonny Craig remains the front-man for Dance Gavin Dance and, as he stated, is still working on his own solo material.
