Fan Scam Lands Singer in Rehab

03/01/2011
. (Rock News Desk) Dance Gavin Dance singer Jonny Craig has checked into rehab after fans of the band revealed how he'd conned them out of thousands of dollars to feed his drug addiction.

Craig told people he was selling a laptop and took between $500 and $650 from a number of them, then failed to deliver the goods while supplying a chain of excuses before eventually blanking those who'd paid up.

After fans calculated he'd raised at least $4950 out of them, and believe another $3000 of theft may still be revealed, Craig's label and management company stepped in and sent him to a rehab centre. more on this story
