False rumors about Trapt parting ways with vocalist Chris Taylor Brown started swirling on Monday (December 14th).
A fake Parler account for the band wrote, “Unfortunately, there were some view points that were said that we do not agree with and it was negatively impacting the rest of the band. We wish him well and hope he can find the help he needs.”
The story was quickly picked up by NME and Metal Sucks before it came to light that the account that was used to make the announcement – @TraptParler – was a fake.
