Read Moose Blood's statement
Last updated 25th Sep 2018
Moose Blood have released a statement confirming they are going “to step away” from music.
Yesterday afternoon Good Charlotte confirmed that they had “decided to remove Moose Blood from our recently announced tour” including their huge gig at London’s Alexandra Palace.
Good Charlotte explained: “We apologise for any inconvenience, but we feel we have a commitment to keep to ourselves, our fans.”
Just hours later, Moose Blood issued a lengthy statement on social media addressing their “traumatic” year and confirming they are going on an indefinite hiatus.
The Kent rockers have been faced controversies over the past 18 months starting when drummer Glenn Harvey exited the band in March 2017 over alleged inappropriate behaviour.
Then in February of this year, Moose Blood released a statement after singer Eddy Brewerton was accused of stealing nude photos off a woman’s phone; an allegation they denied.
Moose Blood’s full statement reads:
“It breaks our hearts to have to write this but it’s something we need to talk about. We feel as though we can’t stay quiet about this any longer.
“We have been condemned in the absence of fact off the back of serious false allegations, and a situation concerning our former drummer. We are genuine, decent human beings who work hard at something we love. We take slight comfort in knowing that the people who do actually know us, knows this to be true. Rumours have escalated beyond belief and it makes us sick to our stomachs that we have been very wrongly labelled with these horrendous, incorrect terms. If certain people actually did their research and knew one ounce of truth about the situation then we would not be in this position. You can’t wrongly label innocent people. Your words have very real effects and consequences. You are part of the problem and the reason why social media can be such a toxic place.
“It has been a traumatic past year or so that has left us feeling like we need to step away. We need to concentrate on all the good we have in our lives without constant concern of what may happen next. We need to be around the people we love, and the people that love us, and focus on our health and happiness.
“To everybody that has supported us, stood by us, and spoken out on our behalf, we thank you and appreciate you more than you’ll ever know.
“You’ll never know the battles people may have going on personally, so please think twice before you try to destroy someone over the internet. Actually consider the words you use and actions you take.
“Take care of each other.
“Let love win.”
