Slaves Singer Jonny Craig Speaks Out About Warped Tour Drama

(TeamRock Radio) Slaves singer Jonny Craig has opened up on the band being kicked off this year's Vans Warped Tour. The Californian group (not to be confused with the British two-piece) were ejected from the tour in the wake of allegations that Craig was not sober and that he sexually harassed a member of their merchandising staff.

In the midst of these allegations, guitarist Alex Lyman was attacked and stabbed by a man who later faced a hate crime charge. Craig says that while he had been drinking, he wasn't taking heroin and hasn't done since forming Slaves in 2014.

He tells TeamRock Radio's You Heard It Here First with Sophie K: "At first we were like, okay, this is probably the stupidest thing that's ever happened to us. I used to put a needle in my arm, so if I want to have a beer I think I'm entitled to be able to be able to respect myself.

"They're sitting there calling my band enablers and all this sh*t. Those people have literally been here since the moment I started this band and have kept me clean." Check out the full interview segment, including his comments about the sexual harassment claims here.
