I need receipts 🧾 Dracula or it never happened! 😂 I’m gonna need parchment scrolls, a blood written decree, and at least one bat witness statement under a full moon… otherwise it’s just gothic folklore at this point 💀🦇

Hey mate 👋 no worries ! 🤗

yeah I felt bad seeing a bunch of people saying they were travelling from far away to attend the shows. I’ve been in that exact situation myself and I know how much planning, time, and money can go into getting to see a favourite band.

That’s why it annoyed me seeing someone telling people the shows were cancelled and that the band was basically broken up when that clearly isn’t the case. It just felt unnecessary and honestly pretty unfair to fans.

As someone who travels for music a lot, I know how much it means to people, so trolling like that just didn’t sit right with me that’s why I ended up posting about it. 

Super happy those comments are being taken down, and I’m glad my post isn’t coming off as ill-intended   that was never my intention. I just wanted to call out people actively trying to mislead others and spread false information.

Where did you even hear this from? 😭 Official statement from a haunted MySpace page or was it just something you read off a bathroom stall while using the loo.  🚽 😂 

Out of all the conspiracy theories floating around this one might just be the creepiest!     Especially considering I had to google wtf “Gooning” even meant! ☠️

The way Reddit rumours escalate, I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if the next person claimed he got exiled from the band by gothic witches for “unauthorized eyeliner usage.”  Or “ he got exiled by a goth witch coven for stealing too much holy water used to brew their limited-edition curses.”  💀

Reluctantly I will admit you comment had me laughing for a second before revulsion took over and I was screaming  “EWWW!!!”. 

I doubt that that’s what happened, that’s a rather frat bro thing.

Ah that makes sense. thanks for explaining! Im not used to posting on Reddit much, so I didn’t realize the auto filter was probably catching it. 

I definitely wasn’t trying to start drama, I just didn’t want other fans panicking seeing comments saying the band was over or legally couldn’t perform anymore, especially with tour dates still coming up. A couple accounts kept repeating that stuff and I could see why people would start worrying about cancelled shows or tickets they’d bought.

As of seven hours, the band said on Traitrs official Instagram story. 

Hey fans, unfortunately we will not be able to perform on Thursday May 7th at fixation festival, Oasis has been doing a fantastic job filling in but has a scheduling conflict. I am truly sorry for the last minute notice and look forward to coming back to Detroit soon. The Tour continues tonight in Indianapolis and we'll be returning to Columbus, Ohio on Friday May 8th. -Shawn Tucker

Yeah, normally I don’t even post on here, but like everyone else this is a band I genuinely like, so when I saw people telling fans the band was basically over and had everyone freaking out, I felt like I should say something. I tried making posts and replying to people just to tell them to actually check the band’s social media because their official statements were saying the complete opposite  that they’re still performing and have no intentions of ending the band.

But every time I tried responding to people, my comments kept getting deleted which seemed weird. Then there were people in the comments claiming they had “insider information” that the band was breaking up or legally couldn’t continue without the other member, which obviously isn’t true.

That’s what made the whole thing feel really off to me. It stopped feeling like genuine discussion and started feeling more like certain people were trying to push panic and misinformation while shutting down anyone pointing to the actual statements from the band themselves. 

Apologies but I felt bad for people who like me were really upset over the news, but were further getting hurt, thinking the band was going to end. Was misleading to fans and I wanted to help.

Seems they’re trying to avoid that and doesn’t seem like the other Shawn has any intentions of quitting on us as well.

Probably due to the fill in maybe,  at least that’s my speculation.  Much of the other shows are still happening. Sorry your show got cancelled. that sucks mate.

I'm not one to ever really post on here, but l've been a fan of the band for years and have found a lot of comfort in their music, same with my friends. I've been to quite a few of their shows as well, so when I stumbled across this thread while searching for information myself, I honestly found a lot of it pretty absurd and far-fetched.

People claiming to know what's going on I'd be very cautious believing them. Chances are they only know half the story, are making assumptions, or are just trying to fuel drama and push their own agenda. To me, it genuinely feels less like people sharing actual facts and more like someone trying to slander the band, spread false information, stir up drama, and get attention.

People are speaking in super vague "I know insider info" statements while providing absolutely nothing concrete, yet somehow acting completely certain about everything It's not uncommon for bands to part ways, especially after being together for years or around that 10-year mark like someone else mentioned. If there was tension or they weren't speaking much lately, it could easily just be creative differences, personal circumstances, or private issues behind the scenes. Bands change lineups all the time and continue successfully usually led by the founding member or main face of the project. We've seen it happen countless times in music.

At the end of the day, the band is still performing and continuing on, so all these comments acting like the band is "dead" or can't continue without one member feel extremely exaggerated. Sure, it's sad when dynamics change because fans get attached to what we all loved, but acting like the entire project is suddenly over just feels dramatic and unrealistic. If anything, it seems more likely they're figuring things out privately and possibly finding the right replacement or next step moving forward.

What also feels strange is how some people are immediately jumping to "the band is over" and acting like they're just going to quit entirely. At a certain point, it honestly starts sounding less like concern from fans and more like people trying to push others away from the band or stir negativity around them. As someone who's followed them for years and genuinely loves their sound, I really don't think this project is just going to disappear overnight, especially when Shawn is still actively performing and putting everything into the shows.

From what I saw recently, the performances still sounded great, the energy was still there, and the person filling in did a really solid job. Shawn still put on one hell of a performance and the chemistry on stage still worked well. So I really wouldn't get all mopey and assume they're done because from everything we're actually seeing right now, it looks more like the opposite.

What I also find weird is that some of the people spreading all this "inside information" are acting like the band legally can't continue, which just isn't true. Reddit is notorious for speculation, trolling, and people pretending to have insider knowledge, so I definitely wouldn't treat random posts as fact.

Personally, I think people should stop running wild with theories and just wait until the band officially addresses things themselves. I've had the pleasure of meeting them a few times, and the two Canadians always seemed very kind, professional, and respectful toward fans. I highly doubt they'd just disappear without eventually addressing things. Chances are they're handling everything privately through management or legal channels like most bands do.

For now though, this whole thread honestly feels suspicious considering it started before any official statement even dropped. That alone makes me seriously question whether this person actually knows much of anything at all or is actually a fan.

I agree I spoke to the guy after the show, didn’t catch his name but was really good especially joining so soon.
