San Diego metalcore outfit As I Lay Dying have issued an official statement regarding the actions of their front man Tim Lambesis who is currently in custody for attempting to hire a hit man to kill his wife.
Here’s what they had to say:
To our fans,
As we post this, the legal process is taking its course and we have no more information than you do. There are many unanswered questions, and the situation will become clearer in the coming days and weeks. We’ll keep you informed as best we can.
Our thoughts right now are with Tim, his family, and with everyone else affected by this terrible situation – and with our fans, whom we love and draw strength from.
Thank you for understanding, and as always, for your support of As I Lay Dying.
– Jordan, Nick, Phil, and Josh
We’ll keep you posted as more details surface.
The band’s last album, “Awakened” dropped September 25th on Metal Blade Records.
