Totally. I was talking to my friend about this who has seen them live with me twice. I have 0 doubts that the band had the conversation with Tyler at some point that went something like this. Band members: “Tyler. We will cover for you, but if anything comes out you will have to exit the band”. I almost guarantee this happened. They all fucking knew. They are just as guilty. This hurts a lot for me bc I met Tyler and he was really nice, and he is was one of my favorite vocalists of all time, but now... man I can’t get behind something like this. I’m sure Tyler has had an apology like this written for years at any point for this shit to come out.

For me. Fuck the band. Their statement was complete bullshit. Issues and TC must be forgotten.
