The controversy surrounding the Dance Gavin Dance tour continues to make waves. This time, it was Ronnie Radke, the singer of Falling In Reverse, who stood out by publicly offering to replace Connie Sgarbossa of SeeYouSpaceCowboy, following the latter’s recent statements on her possible departure from the group.
Ronnie Radke launches his proposal on X
In a series of posts on X on January 16, Ronnie Radke wrote: “@syscband Hey guys, let me know if you want me to produce a new song and sing on the track instead of your other singer who quit.”
“You know what. Stay on the DGD tour, I will be your singer, you can keep my share of the money and split it 4.”
These statements follow online criticism aimed at SeeYouSpaceCowboy for agreeing to tour with Dance Gavin Dance, a group whose former singer, Tilian Pearson, had been accused of sexual misconduct in 2022. Pearson subsequently left the group in April 2024 .

-Context of the controversy
The conflict arose when SeeYouSpaceCowboy singer Connie Sgarbossa took to social media to express her opposition to her band’s participation in the tour, stating: “Believe me, there is no part of me, as an individual, that supports this” et “I will likely leave SYSC due to lack of diligence regarding various issues I have been raising for a while. It was fun while it lasted.”
These posts have since been deleted, but they drew the ire of Radke, who responded directly by accusing Sgarbossa of duplicity and profiting financially from the tour. He wrote: “No, you support that. I saw the screenshots of your text messages to the group. Plus, you’re going to make $100,000 on this tour with DGD, you fucking poseur. Drop the tour if you don’t support it, ah but no, you need this $100,000.”
A unclear situation
For his part, SeeYouSpaceCowboy has yet to make an official statement regarding his status on the tour or Ronnie Radke’s proposal. For now, all mention of them participating in the tour with Dance Gavin Dance has been removed from their social media.
