Taking Back Sunday's Adam Lazzara Responds to Emo Night Drama: Read His Statement

Taking Back Sunday's Adam Lazzara is now clarifying his comments about Emo Night, after Billboard reported the singer didn't like organizers using the band's likeness for their Taking Back Tuesday event. The rocker issued a statement in response to the drama, saying (via Alternative Press):

Today I came across a surprising article with my name attached to it posted from Billboard.
John and I did nearly an hour long interview talking about our new record due out in September for Forbes, but the writer focused on none of this. What he did focus on instead was a very small part of our conversation when he asked what I thought about the DJ emo nights that have been popping up all over. The quote used as the headline was taken out of context and sadly my overall point was missed. I said I was flattered, we all are. The fact that our music can be a part of something that brings people together to celebrate is incredible to me. I can't even believe it. When I hear about that happening I am honestly beside myself.
