Falling In Reverse, Escape The Fate To ‘Bury The Hatchet’

Falling In Reverse heads out for a lengthy winter tour beginning in January accompanied by its singer’s former band appearing as the outing’s “special guest.” Although you might think this is trouble from the get-go, Ronnie Radke says “all is forgiven.”

Escape The Fate was just getting a foothold in the mighty music machine when frontman Radke, who was on probation in relation to a Las Vegas shooting, missed a required meeting with his probation officer.  The result was a two-year prison sentence and ejection from the band which went on to replace him with Craig Mabbitt.

By the time he was released in 2010, Radke had formed a new band – Falling In Reverse.  And, having dissed his former Escape The Fate bandmates in the press, it seemed pretty clear that neither band would have anything to do with each other.  That is, until now.

“There are surprises and special things happening on this tour that you’ll only find out about if you come – people can expect the unexpected,” Radke said.  “This tour will change the long-standing tension with Escape The Fate – we’re now friends and all is forgiven.”

“This tour means new beginnings and I couldn’t be happier to be doing it,” Escape The Fate’s Mabbitt said.  “And, oh yeah, it’s going to be fuckin’ wild!  Missing this tour would be equivalent to Santa putting coal in your stockings and no one likes coal in their stocking.”
