UPDATE: Dance Gavin Dance have parted ways with Tilian Pearson as of 6/3/22. Their statement can be found on social media. Please be respectful of the victims.

[@Roxylynnyouknowwho56]

Also they are still going to release the album because it’s Tim’s last work and they’re want to give attention to that.

[@mcraul]

Wtf. Its Crazy. Im only an spectator from the far. Its awful that this has to happen. Rock, groupies, tour and all of the components of alternative culture might have always been a cover for bad things to happen (not every time, but a lot of times) Being that the band parted ways with Tillian is just a matter of how he will manage to tell his version or accept guilt. I got into Dance Gavin Dance during the first year of pandemic. I had listen to times new roman back in 2008 and the image the band put out for themselves was very appealing, just fun and being silly. If Tillian was having a bad time, struggling to control some bad impulses, I feel for him too. I hope he takes responsibility, To the people making the allegations I hope there's something they are actively doing to get over it and keep going forward with their lives, and if there's the case, get justice. Honestly as just fans we can only make our mind for ourselves and hope that the good stuff matters more than the bad stuff...

Apparently this girl has a history of doing this type of thing. Anyone can read her story and see some inconsistencies between her 2 posts. While Tilian's texts that he shared seem to indicate he's a bit unhealthy mentally, I don't see any indication of her being afraid of him or her bring manipulated or abused by him. I don't think he should be kicked from the band based on this, alone.

This year has probably been the most unfortunate year for DGD and I guess this is about the nail in the coffin for the band. I extremely love this band, I’ve been on urge to see them, and now I’m debating with myself again. Tilian I’ve already known already went through cheating allegations but, this is just crazy. I see DGD as just over after Jackpot Juicer which I still think is still happening and then Tilian could be kicked out or they disband. I wish it was March again where we were hyped for Synergy and Tim was still with us. As it seems without him, disaster after disaster is happening. I never want to see my favorite band go so downhill like this but, here we are. Thanks for covering this Jon, was actually unaware of this happening as I don’t really use Reddit. This is definitely disgusting if these allegations are to be true.

I'm not one to deify celebrities. But I can't jump in on the Tilian hate bandwagon. All of the allegations of wrong doing so far are just that. Allegations. He may have admitted that there were relationships. But he also said he believed they were consensual. I believe in due process. And until there is damning evidence that Tilian is in fact a manipulator/creep, I won't crucify him with the mob. And no, multiple allegations from multiple people doesn't mean much to me. There's dozens of comments on the subreddit saying Tilian has had "problems" in the past. And when they list the "problems", they're literally just crying about how Tilian follows people on Twitter they disagree with. Yeah, that's real damning evidence, guys. At this point in time, I can totally see some of the people who accused Tilian as being upset that he follows certain people. But like I said: Due process. Give me irrefutable proof that he raped someone or manipulated them into sex and I will crucify him alongside you. And don't give me that "believe women" or "you're victim blaming" BS. A friend of mine nearly had legal trouble because of provably false accusations against him over the dumbest, most petty bullshit when we were in high school.

Damn with everything with Jonny before and after DGD I really thought things started to improve for the band and their image from a musical and social perspective (hard to replace any members of any band really and they did with 3 vocalists) but this too me puts not only Tillian in a bad light but unfortunately cause this cannot be an example of just being unlucky in selection - it’s upsetting as a fan and someone genuinely pumped to see them on the European tour

She started dating this guy and idk exactly what happened but didn't end up working out. Makes me a little sad cause she adores this band. I know a lot of people that do.

As a huge fan of DGD, these posts hurt to read. I already knew that Jonny Craig was a piece of shit, but Tilian as well?

That's if these allegations prove to be true, which is unfortunately looking very likely. I know they managed to soldier on after Tim died, but this could very well be the end of DGD. Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, the song Honey Revenge is literally about stalking someone. That should've been the first red flag. 2nd Edit: I’ve just realised that DGD have gone through at least 3 vocalists already, so they shouldn’t have an issue finding another one if that comes to be.

It is just frustrating how all the members pretend that they "didn't know". all of them were aware of what was going on and just chose to allow it. this scene has always enabled predatory behaviour from band members towards teenage girls, there is nothing more disgusting than a grown-ass man taking advantage of a vulnerable teenager (usually suffering from depression or bad self-esteem) who LITERALLY doesn't know any better. don't get me wrong, l have sm love for dgd's music and they have previously dominated my spotify "your top songs of 201X" playlists, I just do think it is important to acknowledge that the dgd members were all aware of what was/is going on behind the scenes

[@dancegregorydance6933]

I get it. Jonny will always be the singer I associate with DGD because he was the lead singer when I got into them. No singer really is DGD though. DGD has had 5 singers (if you include Andrew.) They aren’t a band like Journey where the only way to replace the singer is with somebody them who sounds exactly like Steve Perry.

[@ItsJustDeath]

This is absolutely heartbreaking bro. From reading the reddit post (Spooky's especially) it seems like Tilian has a problem with drinking and boundaries. That shouldn't be an excuse though especially since DGD has dealt with Jonny Craig's bullshit for that long and they don't need a repeat of that. The hard part comes in when it is the question of Jackpot Juicer and Tilian's previous work with the band. On JJ: It must be understood that DGD is a band which means more people are financially dependent on the release of music and merch and touring. With Tim's unfortunate passing (and because of something I read from before), they did intend on using this album as not only a dedication but a last payout to his family and those that financially depended on him. So now you have not only the other band members but also a family having to decide how they will make money after all the marketing and music videos they already recorded and may have some still waiting to be released. That pushes that back by a lot. They could find that releasing the record would be more beneficial than not in terms of money and making sure the rest of the band is okay. If that is the case, they should inform their audience of that before the release as well as obviously pushing it back until the end of the year when music is quieter or next year even. **Another thing they could do is use one of their touring vocalists like Andrew to re-record the vocals for songs they have for the new album. Depending on how it sounds, this may be the best way to release the album. Maybe even scrapping the pre-released singles and making new ones or just not using them at all. This may take the most amount of time but if it is possible and not financially draining (meaning it would cost less then just rewriting and making a new album with a new vocalist). On Tilian's previous work: I don't think it needs to be removed or anything. I think whether that previous music gets listened to or not should be up to the individual fans and I think trying to erase it makes it worse (or at least looks worse to outsiders). Also because they have still kept Jonny Craig's songs and albums up even after his confirmed involvement with scamming people and fucking people over while consistently lying about getting better (though to be fair I feel a fair amount of people kept enabling his behaviour). If they do get a new vocalist, they can have him re-record some of the popular Tilian songs like they were doing with the Treey City Sessions. At the end of the day, it is fair to see both sides of what is going on with though I feel with at the very least what spooky has presented seem pretty substantial (though if he was as drunk as they claimed, he may not even be able to combat the allegations with his side because he can't remember or whatever). He still needs to at the very least apologise, go to rehab and leave the band unless he can find some concrete evidence that shows that the night went differently or that these are completely false or something because right now it looks very much like guilty . Which so far spooky's seem to be the main allegation that has merit and everything to it pending more coming out. I don't think DGD needs to disband only because they were finally getting all the recognition the fanbase believed they deserved plus ending it like this will leave kind of a permanent blemish that I feel the other artists in the band doesn't need. At the very least, one last DGD album to send it off. Rebrand into a new band or continue the push of Secret Band. They seem really dedicated to music and the making of it, and it is kind of fucked seeing it all come crumbling. Plus from what I've seen online so far people consider Matt, Will, & Jon to be the heart of DGD and what has kept it going for so long. They are so used to lead vocalist changes that they are totally fine with them taking the time to find a replacement. The test will be time. If Tilian shows how much he has changed after this or even if later on it comes out on the small chance that this is false/didn't happen the way it was said: how will Tilian be welcomed back if he does continue working with music. When it comes to entertainment, it is hard to do anything else for a multitude of reasons. This is how he's made money for a decade plus, it's not unreasonable to think he would want to continue it. I feel he'll still have fans like hardcore fans and just those that can separate art from then artist and won't support him past listening to his new music.
