Emarosa frontman Jonny Craig has been kicked out of the band, reports Alternative Press.

In February, Craig checked into a detox treatment facility in North Hollywood, CA, just weeks prior to Dance Gavin Dance’s US tour, and a week after his MacBook scam went public.

“My state of mind was completely shot and obviously my decision making skills were heavily impaired due to my drug use,” Craig said in a statement regarding the MacBook scam.

In an exclusive Ryan’s Rock Show interview, Dance Gavin Dance guitarist Will Swan admitted that Craig has a history of stealing from band members.

Emarosa has yet to announce a replacement vocalist. Former Tides Of Man vocalist Tilian Pearson filled in for Craig during his time spent in detox.

Rise Records and Artery Management issued a public apology in regards to Craig’s MacBook scam, and will reimburse the victims for their financial losses.

“[Craig’s] addiction needed immediate attention and with the help from MusiCares, we were able to make it happen,” commented Rise Records’ Craig Ericson and the Artery Foundation’s Eric Rushing in a statement. “Rise Records and Artery Management will reimburse all people who Jonny took advantage of financially. No one will be getting ripped off and we’d all like to issue a public apology to anyone who had been taken advantage of.”

Former Tides of Man frontman Tilian Pearson will fill-in for Craig on Emarosa’a current run with Chiodos. Dance Gavin Dance’s upcoming US trek is expected to go on as planned.
