Last week, Spiritbox removed all posts pertaining to their involvement in the upcoming Falling In Reverse tour from their social media; though no official statement had been shared at the time, some folks believed that the band had dropped off the tour due to fan pressure.
This fan pressure is in regard to folks who were upset to see the band take part in a tour where they would be supporting Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke (who some folks in the metal community take issue with).
As of the other day, Spiritbox finally released a statement in regard to the tour, however, they did not say too much as to why they were dropping off the tour. Per a tweet of theirs:
“We have withdrawn from the 6 shows we were scheduled to perform on the Popular Monstour.”
The statement is very to the point and does not provide much of a reason for the band dropping off; that said, the timing is very coincidental.
As far as the fan response to Spiritbox leaving the tour goes… it has been mostly positive.
While some folks are still upset that the band even thought of touring with Falling In Reverse in the first place, there are a lot of comments from fans expressing that they are happy to hear that Spiritbox is not touring with Falling In Reverse.
You can find some of these comments below. What do you make of Spiritbox dropping off this tour?

For y’all thinking that spiritbox “did the right thing” they wouldn’t have even agreed to be on tour on the first place if they truly care about who they’re re associated with, its not like they don’t know who Ronnie is, this an L for the band tbh
