Brand New Postpone Tour Following Jesse Lacey's Apology For Past Sexual Misconduct
Brand New have cancelled their upcoming European tour in the wake of Jesse Lacey's sexual misconduct allegations. "Due to the events of the last few days, Brand New will be postponing it's upcoming three shows in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Ticket refunds will be accepted at the original point of purchase," the band announced on Facebook.
The allegations arose on Nov. 10 when a woman came forward in a since-deleted public Facebook thread to recall when Lacey requested nude photos of her and masturbated over Skype in 2002. She stated she was underage at the time (15 years old, to be exact) while he was 24. Since then, other women came forward to accuse the singer of sexual harassment. Lacey later posted a lengthy apology for his wrongdoings, yet he not once specifically addressed the sexual misconduct claims.
