Jonny Craig kicked out of band, still using drugs?

Problems seemingly continue for troubled vocalist Jonny Craig. As documented during the last day by or two by Propertyofzack.com, not only is Jonny Craig apparently still using drugs, but he is reportedly in Canada avoiding a warrant for his arrest. The latest round of drama began when somebody claiming to personally know Craig posted details regarding his continued drug use, including recent photos of Craig using heroin. Furthermore, sources claim that Craig has been kicked out of Dance Gavin Dance and dropped from the Rise Records roster entirely. Additionally, AbsolutePunk now states that Kurt Travis (ex-Dance Gavin Dance) and Matt Geise (Lower Definition) will handle vocals for Dance Gavin Dance's forthcoming tour. For those keeping score at home, Craig was accused of scamming fans in February of 2011, checked into rehab later that month, was kicked out of Emarosa last April, and jailed on narcotics charges in October.
UPDATE: Dance Gavin Dance has issued the following statement, clearly indicating that Jonny Craig has NOT been kicked out of the band.
"As some of you have heard today, Jonny Craig will not be doing the upcoming tour with Dance Gavin Dance. Jonny is very sick right now, and needs to do what he can to get better. Being on the road is no place for someone in his position right now. He needs to focus on fixing himself. He has NOT been kicked out of Dance Gavin Dance, but we cannot tour with him in the current state he is in. We still want to continue being productive and playing music that we have so much passion for, which is why we decided to continue with the tour without Jonny. We love Jonny and we hope that Jonny can do what he can to get better, because we have done everything that we can to try to get him clean. "For this upcoming tour with A lot Like Birds, we will be joined by Kurt Travis and Matt Geise to fill in on vocals. We will be doing something that we've never done before, and thats preforming songs from all 4 full-lengths. For the time being, keep your eyes peeled and your ears piqued for new Secret Band music! See you all out on the road and make sure to come up and say hi to us at the merch table!"

Davey Havok wannabe from Motionless in White is stoked.

I was the first one to get searched. They stripped me naked had me lift my ballsack up so they could check underneath it, and then had me bend over and spread my asscheeks apart so they could look inside my jerk.

You suck at life, dude. You should probably just quit...life that is.

LoydChristmas 2/8/2012 10:59:00 AM

Snoopy2 2/8/2012 11:39:51 AM

This fcking gay should be the iconoclastic Sid Vicious of all gay post-hardcore bands. Next he should commit murder, suicide and/or molest babies. It will sure help the sales of his shit records

dondeestasumadre 2/8/2012 11:43:29 AM

anonymous20 minutes ago LOVE YOU JONNY BOY, stay fresh beauty queen. keep usin' fck all dem haters yo! they don't know how good it fckin' feels!! Heroin is bad. Its not very funny to encourage the use of it. If you have a problem (as well), you should consider seeking help.

brassknuckleromance 2/8/2012 11:59:58 AM

OD already gay.

forumdrama 2/8/2012 12:05:02 PM

I'm reading about all of these people who have dropped tons of money on him to bail him out of jail, fly him around, pay for hotels, food, etc all while asking him to go to rehab, and he just continually declining. Quit enabling this sorry sack of shit, and let him fall on his own ass.

anonymous 2/8/2012 12:05:15 PM

this dude is the scott wieland of gaycore. die already fcking junkie

anonymous 2/8/2012 12:17:46 PM

anonymous 2/8/2012 12:50:40 PM

Drugs are sooooo cool!

anonymous 2/8/2012 1:08:43 PM

Awesome! I bet the owner of Rise records who bailed him out of the first predicament is thrilled about that. Money well spent. In the future, it is not the labels responsibility to help out any fans that get swindled by someone who is in a band on the label. The issue is with the jerk doing the swindling himself. If anyone got ripped off they should have sued that guy directly.

anonymous 2/8/2012 1:13:35 PM

i'll listen to his voice when he dies

anonymous 2/8/2012 1:22:15 PM

Proof that heroin doesn't always give us good music.

anonymous 2/8/2012 3:31:23 PM

How has he been through all of this and not killed himself yet?

anonymous 2/8/2012 3:42:07 PM

anonymous 2/8/2012 4:33:31 PM

It's always sad when somebody's happens, but why the fck is this a story on lambgoat? Dance Gavin dance? fcking really?

anonymous 2/8/2012 4:34:08 PM

summerbeers 2/8/2012 6:27:59 PM

kurt cobain and scott weiland, and hell why not iggy pop, had massive success and a ridiculous amount of money. this guy is nobody. no comparison. dont try.

TheLoudestGuyInTheRoom 2/8/2012 6:51:51 PM

He should just go to Russia and shoot up some "krokodil"

anonymous 2/8/2012 7:11:47 PM

anonymous 2/8/2012 7:13:29 PM

shane_battier 2/8/2012 7:55:20 PM

Cut off his head and then your own

anonymous 2/8/2012 8:30:48 PM

Jenny Craig > Jonny Craig

LoydChristmas 2/8/2012 8:44:28 PM

They need TWO singers to fill in for this jerk? Also LoL at calling this "sick"

anonymous 2/8/2012 9:18:41 PM

Yeah, keep your shitty tweaker front man around...that's a good move. Not only is this dude a POS, but this band is a bunch of idiots.

anonymous 2/8/2012 9:27:46 PM

brah, these fckas know that this guy is a joke/$$ maker which is why they aren't kicking this guy out permantly.

cuntlesschristmas 2/8/2012 9:45:49 PM

Well guys, if I was the person being told to kill myself with heroine...... I probably would >_<

anonymous 2/8/2012 9:59:17 PM

WHO THE fck CARES

dot357 2/9/2012 3:00:31 AM

Lambgoat is becoming more and more of a music related English tabloid-like website picking up every juicy story about what bandmembers drink, rob, do drugs or any other rumor that can harm a certain individual/band... It's pretty low to expose people's personal business, especially for a hardcore website

LoydChristmas 2/9/2012 5:08:47 AM

^ dance gavin dance and the like are not hardcore bands. they're suburban douchers that live their lives prancing around like idiots trying to become celebrities, so hate and shaming is what comes with it.

anonymous 2/9/2012 5:37:41 AM

^You just described every hardcore kid

anonymous 2/9/2012 7:14:19 AM

^hehe also my fingers are crossed for a lower definition reunion now

Snoopy2 2/9/2012 7:44:15 AM

Lol still not kicking out out of the band? Wow. fcking gay band is literally going more nowhere than they already are

xmusicislifex 2/9/2012 8:17:43 AM

in Canada?? Get the fck out of my country you junkie

RickRock 2/9/2012 9:38:29 AM

Drop dead, junkie.

anonymous 2/9/2012 9:41:05 AM

anonymous 2/10/2012 2:29:14 AM

they stayed on the tour for money.. end of story

Dearsonis 2/10/2012 9:24:43 AM

^^ maybe they just wanted to please their fans, that's why they continued the tour.

marching_band_rules 2/10/2012 1:22:03 PM

self-righteous news only posts galore

anonymous 2/10/2012 5:20:36 PM

"I was the first one to get searched. They stripped me naked had me lift my ballsack up so they could check underneath it, and then had me bend over and spread my asscheeks apart so they could look inside my jerk."<<<<---- Good things never die.

anonymous 2/12/2012 8:59:24 PM

gave them a listen on myspace, since I have never heard of this band, and since this website is called lambgoat, hardcore/metal/reviled forum, i figured, 'hey, can't be too bad, has to be some kind of hardcore/metal' Well holy fckin shit was I ever in for a surprise. So after all this, I have to ask, why the fck, is this news? may as well start covering grammy's too, post skrillex's phone number or somethin

anonymous 2/13/2012 2:34:44 AM

who in the hell is jonny craig? and who the fck cares...

asstomouth182 2/13/2012 11:34:04 AM

hardcore or not, why in the hell is this still news?? Seems to me that any kind of publicity is good publicity nowadays(i.e. isanyoneup.com) so talking about this schizophrenic homosexual is just doing wonders for his career...even though he is a drugged out has been

anonymous 3/13/2012 11:19:11 AM

I agree with you guys but don't complain about him when probably some of the same artist you listen to do stupid shit like jonny
